Avengers stars Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner have been forced to apologise after making derogatory remarks about Scarlett Johansson’s character Black Widow.<\/h3>\n

Superstars of the latest Avengers instalment, Chris Evans (Captain America) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) were devoured by a wall of criticism and fury after comments they made about the character Black Widow.<\/p>\n

Backlash ensued from fans after the boys were asked what the thought of Black Widow’s romance with Mark Ruffalo’s character Bruce Banner (Hulk), during a promotional interview\u2026 Renner answered with “She’s a slut”.<\/p>\n

This caused the two of them to burst out laughing, and Evans chimed in with, “She’s a complete whore”.<\/p>\n

Also under fire is Renner’s next comment – “she has a prosthetic leg anyway”.<\/p>\n

\"black<\/p>\n

Evans released this statement over night:<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday we were asked about the rumors that Black Widow wanted to be in a relationship with both Hawkeye and Captain America. <\/p>\n

“We answered in a very juvenile and offensive way that rightfully angered some fans. I regret it and sincerely apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sorry that this tasteless joke about a fictional character offended anyone,\u201d Renner also said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not meant to be serious in any way. Just poking fun during an exhausting and tedious press tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch the interview below\u2026 Do you think it’s offensive?<\/p>\n
