The ending Avengers: Infinity War is one of the saddest moments in the history of cinema. Many of our beloved characters, along with half the population of the universe, was dusted into nothing by Thanos. Of course, the effect neutralised with Endgame. Scarlett Johansson has mocked and parodied the final moments of Infinity War in her monologue for Saturday Night Live. The actress returned to host Saturday Night Live for the sixth time on December 14.
Wearing a red dress, she began her monologue on the stage. But soon, the content drove into a very direction. The cast members of SNL begin to be dusted off. Scarlett deduces, "Thanos."
"First Asian cast member and you guys are dusting me? Twitter is going to eat you alive," Bowen Yang screamed as he vanished. At one point, Scarlett's fiance, the SNL co-head writer, Colin Jost, joined them. The actress had already joked how her high-pay would be enough to fen off her family, if Jost got fired. She then joked about being disappointed seeing Jost alive and not dusted.
But it was not Thanos who was doing the nasty this time. SNL cast member Pete Davidson was using the infinity gauntlet. He finally found time from making his fans sign $1million non-disclosure agreements to be on SNL for this small bit. A little pleading from ScarJo leads to restoration of peace in the SNL universe.

Scarlett will revive her superhero character, Black Widow, in an eponymously titled film. This movie will be a prequel to Endgame, so Black Widow is still dead, just in case you were hopeful. The first trailer of the film dropped a couple of weeks back and was a hit amongst the fans.
