Captain America: The Winter Soldier star Scarlett Johansson is about four months pregnant - if I'm not mistaken - and she is making no plans to take a break from acting any time soon. In fact, ScarJo and Marvel recently commented on that, and assured that her condition won't affect the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron movie.



Johansson also told the WSJ that she would rather make films and raise a family, which is an ambition she described as "selfish." Well, it's not like she can't afford a nanny, right?

"

"It seems so stressful to not be able to spend time with your family because you're constantly chasing the tail of your own success," Johansson says in the April issue of WSJ magazine. "There must exist a world in which I can balance those things, be able to raise a family and still make a film a year, or work on my own, develop things, do theater. I want to be able to have it all. Selfishly."

Which is not to say she won't compromise. "I know that with that there will be some sacrifices," the Avengers superstar tells WSJ of balancing kids and her job. "I know that's the struggle with working mothers and successful careers. It happens."
