Scarlett Johansson forced herself to get into shape for her role in new movie Iron Man 2 — because she was worried about donning a skin-tight Lycra catsuit.

The racy redhead was so terrified she would look stupid in her costume she was determined to lose weight for the role and tone up her curves.

“I was so incredibly dedicated because what would be worse than failing — especially failing in a Lycra catsuit,” she said.

“I cannot imagine anything more embarrassing so I put my all into it.

“I was surprised to find that I could get in shape and kick ass.”

Johansson, 24, recently revealed she’s keen to star in an Iron Man spin-off.

“I hope I get to come back and do it again,” she said. “The character certainly comes back. We see that she does in the comics and certainly she is a part of The Avengers.

“I don’t know if that is where it’s going to go but she is definitely a big part of The Avengers and she has many different incarnations and different storylines so I’m hoping she will be able to continue in that way.

“I’m hoping that if the fans like the character and support the character, we’ll see her again.”
