Four-time Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan wants to be in a big Hollywood action movie after a long career in smaller projects, but she has no interest in making a Marvel film.
Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ronan began by addressing a rumor that she was offered the role of Yelena in Black Widow. As you can see in the video below, she dances around the question and doesn’t give a definitive answer. Florence Pugh ultimately played that part and is coming back to reprise the character in 2025’s Thunderbolts.
Saoirse Ronan’s reaction when I asked her point blank if she was offered Yelena in the MCU is an all timer for me. 😂

Regarding her own potential Marvel career, Ronan said, “I can’t see myself doing Marvel. There is nothing wrong with [Marvel], and I think they are brilliant films.”
