GamesRadar+ recently spoke wi🏅th Laura Bailey, who voiced Abby from The Last of Us 2 and Black Widow from Marvel's Avengers, so naturally we asked the actor what would happen if the two characters got in a fist fight.

It's a testamen🍃tꦏ to Abby that Bailey's first reaction was to ask whether Black Widow gets to use "all [her] toys." And considering Black Widow's - you know - a superhero, we figured it's only fair that both she and Abby go in with only their fists and all-natural talents for violence.

"I wouldꩵ probably say Widow. You know, I think ꧃that Abby could definitely do some damage, but the training – the years and years and years of training in a different environment… Yeah," Bailey said.

As much as we stan Abby all day long, we're inclined to agree. Abby's faced some pretty scary enemies - clickers, the Rat King, and Ellie, to name a few - but never anything quite as dangerous as a former SHIELD spy and one of the founding members of the Avengers. Let us not forget the fight from Iron Man 2 where she dispatched🍃 about a dozen thugs working 🔴for Hammer Industries without breaking a sweat.

When Marvel'𒆙s Avengers releases on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia September 4, you'll be able to harness Black Widow's acrobatic, trick-shooting power as well as every other Avenger's unique streng♉ths.

After earning a🦹n English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm respon🌄sible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
