The actor’s penchant for choosing different and challenging characters across genres has made her one of the most bankable stars in the industry. With her MCU gig as Black Widow, Johansson further cemented her place among the A-listers in Hollywood.

Scarlett Johansson Spilled The Beans On Her First Stint As Black Widow
Marvel’s swashbuckling secret agent and superhero Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow was officially introduced in the MCU in Iron Man 2. Scarlett Johansson who portrayed the character, wasn’t an integral part of the franchise until her presence in the Avengers films. Johansson interestingly replaced first choice Emily Blunt who rejected the role to fulfill her commitment to Gulliver’s Travels. Speaking of her debut as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, the Match Point actor who appeared only briefly, was realistic about her character’s arc in the film.
“That movie wasn’t going to move the needle forward in terms of how my character was written, but there was potential for what it could be — a potential for growth in subsequent films,”

Scarlett Johansson in Asteroid City
In an intriguing bit of trivia, Johansson was paid a modest salary of just over 4000 dollars a week for her role in the film thereby answering her critics in the best way after her Black Widow controversy with Disney+. The Marvel star connected with the script of Asteroid City at a personal level and expressed a deep appreciation for the writers for making her think about and question her character deeply.
“I was curious: Who is this person? How did she get here, to be so successful at that time? She’s this star of stage and screen — what drove her there?”
Johansson applied these questions and analysis to her character, Midge Campbell who is a 50s star and was able to do justice to the role thanks to Wes Anderson’s implicit trust in her abilities.
