Natasha Romanoff has been played by Scarlet Johanson in the Marvel films: Iron Man 2, Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Interview with Entertainment weekly about Civil War with Scarlet Johanson:
Scarlet Johanson provided some interesting answers on where her character stands in Civil War and her decision making in the film. 

I think when you find her in Civil War, she’s looking to strategize her position, putting herself in a place where she is able to let the powers that be fight it out or whatever amongst themselves. She’s always a little bit on the perimeter so she can have a better perspective of what’s really going on.
It sounds like she is more in the middle in Civil War.  Maybe she is the one to sleuth manipulations of Baron Zemo?
"When we last saw her I think the stakes were astronomical. And she basically had to make this choice between [duty] and what she probably deserves. I think up until this point, she has put the hours in and is ready for..."
"You know, I don’t think she’s ever aspired to become an Avenger. That’s not really a choice that she made. It’s kind of like the events in her life led her to that point and when we see her [in Civil War], she’s finally capable of making a choice for herself. Which is kind of a milestone in someone’s life when they’ve not really participated in the decisions that were made for them. She’s finally at a place where she’s going, ‘Okay, I actually kind of know what I want. And I think I kind of deserve it..Unfortunately the events that took place … she has this kind of greater calling and this huge pull towards doing what’s right for the greater good. And she chooses that, and it’s a really heroic thing that she does, I think."
