There were plenty of people surprised by Scarlett Johansson's remote Canadian wedding to Ryan Reynolds last September – and you can count Scarlett among them.

"I never really thought about getting married – it just kind of happened," the actress, 25, tells Glamour for its November issue, hitting newsstands Oct. 6. "It seemed natural, the right thing to do. It was kind of a celebration of the time."


But Johansson says she likes the feeling, even if she doesn't feel all that different. "I think the only difference is that I'm kind of making my own little family now, which is funny," she says. "It’s like a little bit of a tribe. You hope that a relationship makes you better, that you learn things about yourself."

Reps Deny Scarlett & Ryan Fight Caused Him to Miss Comic-Con

Originally posted 07/29/2009 02:10PM

Don't believe the hype: Ryan Reynolds did not skip Comic-Con over a feud with his wife Scarlett Johansson, according to reps for both stars.

"[The report] is completely untrue," the reps tell PEOPLE. "Warner Brothers never planned to have Green Lantern as part of their panel at this year's Comic-Con and Ryan is in Europe shooting a film."

Reports have circulated online that Johansson, 24, and Reynolds, 32, got into a heated argument which caused him to skip the popular annual event.

Adds a source close to the couple, "Any reports of a fight are ridiculous." Johansson and Reynolds quietly tied the knot in September 2008.

Ladies of Comic-Con Reveal Their Favorite Festival Moments

It's official: Ladies love getting their geek on at Comic-Con.

Even though it's been perceived in the past as a "fanboys only" festival, some of Hollywood's hottest actresses are embracing it as their own as they meet their most passionate audience. Some even want to sneak around in costume!

New Moon star Kristen Stewart – this year's "Con Queen" – had several thousand devoted Twilighters flocking to San Diego to catch a sneak peak of her film's footage and see her and her costars.

"This is definitely a high," said Stewart. "It's a little overwhelming to have so many people here, but I guess that's a good thing. Just judging from past experiences – when I show up at these sort of places, I'm sort of blown away and in this case I was ready for it."

Ready or not, the fanaticism can be contagious. "Certainly there is a major geek within me, actually, just kind of right on the surface," laughed Scarlett Johansson, who wore exotic Christian Louboutin heels she called her "super-hero booties" while promoting Iron Man 2. "I have never experienced anything like this before, two weeks after filming has wrapped. It's exciting to be a part of something that kind of has this built-in fan base that's got this electricity around it."

Even enviable-looking Scarlett Johansson couldn't disguise her fear at having to don a skintight catsuit for her Iron Man 2 role as the Russian spy Black Widow.

"I kicked some major butt," the actress, 24, told PEOPLE at Comic-Con of her training regimen to make her a shapely superhero ready for acrobatic battle scenes. "It was many, many, hours, days, and months of stunt training and strength training, but it's fun because I had a goal. The goal was the Lycra catsuit."

Was she happy with the results? "Finally I was, yes," she said with a laugh. "You put that much work into something and you put it on and you better be happy with it."

Scarlett Johansson Stretches into Superhero Shape

Scarlett Johansson is getting her body into action-hero shape through good old-fashioned exercise.

"There is no magic wand to wave over oneself to look good in a latex catsuit," Johansson, 24, who is currently working on Iron Man 2, writes on the Huffington Post. "Eating healthy and getting fit is about commitment, determination, consistency and the dedication to self-preservation."

Detailing her regimen of "pull-ups, crunches, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, planks, walking, jogging and push ups," the actress, who says she's getting into "superhero shape," addresses misinformation about how she's arrived at her newly toned figure.
