The reference was the fact that Marvel gods were planning to pair Black Widow aka Scarlett Johansson with other Marvel characters.

Talking to Digital Spy, when the actors were asked about the same fact, Jeremy Renner called Black Widow a Sl*t and Chris Evans labelled her wh*re. “She’s a sl*t.” As they laughed together, Evans said, “a complete wh*re.” All of this was, of course, sarcastic but did not go well with the fans of Black Widow and the universe too.

The backlash gave rise to a whirlpool of criticism, and the two actors had to apologise for their comments. As per Hindustan Times, Chris Evans said, “Yesterday we were asked about the rumors that Black Widow wanted to be in a relationship with both Hawkeye and Captain America. We answered in a very juvenile and offensive way that rightfully angered some fans. I regret it and sincerely apologize.”

Hawkeye fame Jeremy Renner said in his statement, “I am sorry that this tasteless joke about a fictional character offended anyone. It was not meant to be serious in any way. Just poking fun during an exhausting and tedious press tour.”
