Scarlett Johansson has admitted to sharing a sizeable comic collection with husband Ryan Reynolds.

Both actors have strong ties to comic books, with Johansson due to appear on screen as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2 next year, while Reynolds has signed on to star in the Green Lantern and Deadpool.

"There is a lot of superhero stuff going on in our family right now," said Johansson. "We have quite a few stacks of comic books. We're in completely different universes but it's fun to get into that whole world together even if there is quite a stack of comic books taking up space."

Reynolds previously appeared as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine earlier this year. It has also been confirmed that Johansson will reprise her role as Black Widow for the Avengers movie in 2012.

Iron Man 2 is currently in post-production ahead of its launch on May 7, 2010. Both Green Lantern and Deadpool are slated for release in 2011.
