Watch Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson Trade Hilarious Playground Insults

Avengers: Endgame, the explosive final chapter in the current era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, promises to be packed with epic showdowns-but one battle nobody was expecting to see was Thor vs. Black Widow... until now.

During an appearance on BBC Radio 1 while on the press tour for the movie, stars Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson gamely took part in a roasting challenge called, appropriately enough, 'Playground Insults'-and things got personal real quick.

"Chris, you're ugly," said ScarJo in her opening volley. "Everyone's been talking about it, you're just really ugly."

"Beauty is on the inside," Hemsworth parried. "And inside you is just awful!"

Johansson continued by commenting on Hemsworth's "growing collection of grandma cardigans," while he responded by suggesting she is beautiful but dumb. She then revealed that he spends more time in hair and makeup than the rest of the Avengers cast:""What are you even doing in there, getting a whole facelift?"

When Dennis Okari and Betty Kyallo walked down the aisle in a grand wedding, many thought it was a love story destined for happily ever after. However, Okari has revealed that he later realised Betty was never meant to be his wife. He admitted that he wished he had never gone through with the wedding, as it was an attempt to 'correct a wrong' rather than a decision rooted in God’s plan.

The rules of 'Playground Insults' are simple: don't hold back, and the first person to crack up loses. Johansson admitted that she's no good at confrontation, but Hemsworth really got into the spirit of the game. It was pretty hard to watch, honestly. Here are a couple of our fave selected zingers:

  • "What's Black Widow's super power again? Owning a couple of tasers, or those trident things from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"
  • "I don't think you've ever been on time, Scarlett. Do you need a watch for Christmas?"
  • "When you went to the beach the other week, and you had that beach umbrella, did you know it'd eventually turn into the pants you'd be wearing today?"

We knew that the God of Thunder found his sense of humor in Thor: Ragnarok, but we never knew he could be so catty! Perhaps he was really just Loki in disguise.

Avengers: Endgame is in theaters now.
