If you include the voice game and the cameos, then Scarlett Johansson is not the most profitable actor / actress in history, but when you look at the main and supported roles, it is, at least for the moment. In other words, she is the most profitable star at the moment, at least without adapting to inflation. And you should probably adapt to inflation most of the time, but hey, the big numbers are large numbers and the number next to its name is technically the largest. You will probably not be surprised to learn that a big role in the MCU is a factor helping to make this large number so large, but also, Jurassic World Rebirth was the film that pushed it on the previous most profitable star, Samuel L. Jackson. Oh, it is also within a ton of MCU movies. And, if you go through cameos and vocal roles, its total box office is the second Stan LeeWho had so many cameos that his global total stands at the highest.
Speaking of MCUThere is a film of this giant of a series below, but there are then some non-superhero films highlighted here, all intended to present the best of the filmography of Scarlett Johansson to date. All these films have not greatly contributed to this total to the box office previously mentioned that it has reached, but it does not matter. The box office thing is a reason to talk about Johansson at the moment, But great films can obviously be great without making a lot of money. Some of them went well, and others not, but they were all high -quality films in addition to being excellent windows for the talents of Johansson as an actress.

“Lost in translation” (2003)
Directed by Sofia Coppola
It would not be quite correct to call Lost in the translation A role of stars for Scarlett Johansson, since she had appeared in films until 1994, and had, in 2001, appearing in some relatives (namely, namely, The man who was not there And Ghost world), but Lost in the translation Was a star… codifying the role? It was something. It was the Diet Coke version of a star role: almost, but not quite. But it’s not a blow Lost in the translationFarmeal than she was already decently established before that. Anyway, this film features it alongside Bill MurrayBoth playing people who form a strange link to Tokyo for various reasons.
Lost in the translation is generally considered to be the best film by Sofia Coppola, or at least a strong competitor, and rightly so.
They indeed feel lost, by the title, and find something in each other which is almost romantic, but not quite … perhaps … in a way. There is not much that happens Lost in the translationBut there are many things that are felt, and it ends up being more than enough. He Also helps that the film has a fairly large soundtrack, and it also successfully captures the unique beauty of TokyoSometimes feeling emotional, atmospheric and quietly sad. It is generally considered to be Sofia Coppolais the best film, or at least a strong competitor, and rightly so. It is retained in the scope, and some can consider it slow, but Lost in the translation is well played, has a unique feeling and is undeniably cinematographic, feeling in turn as a good entrance point in Arthouse’s cinema (it is a kind of art film, although quite accessible).

“Avengers: Endgame” (2019)
Directed by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Avengers: end of game was not really the end for anyone, considering how it MCU continued to truck (for better or for worse) in its wake, but it was a final for the first three phases of the cinematic universe in question. And it was enormous, and fulfilling, and a fairly wild achievement, that even those who do not like superhero films should have to reluctantly recognize. Casting Avengers: War Infinity was actually divided by half to End of gameGiven the end of this film, but it was always a starry business … In addition, not everyone had left forever. But the Core Avengers team remained intact, and Black Widow of Scarlett Johansson was one of them, after being there The Avengers (2012), although making its first appearance even earlier than that, in the defective (but still a little important, at the end) Iron Man 2 (2010).
Johansson has taken the central scene once again after that, in Black widow (2021), but it was not as strong in a film as End of gameEven if Johansson gave good performance there, or at least as good as the equipment allowed. It is part of a large set Avengers: end of gameOf course, and is at the heart of a somewhat divisive scene (if you know, you know, and it is one of the most profitable films of all time, so you probably know), but taken as a whole, the film is nevertheless a huge achievement. It has been a difficult act to follow since 2019, but it can always be appreciated and appreciated for what it served as a final forAnd for its effectiveness as a successful scanning.

“Under the skin” (2013)
Directed by Jonathan Glazer
Highlight by a New York Times poll as one of the greatest science fiction films in the 21st century so far, Under the skin is undoubtedly singular as a science fiction work, operating simultaneously as a very strange horror film too. Scarlett Johansson plays a kind of extraterrestrial creature that disguises itself as a woman and goes around Scotland, chasing and doing something disturbing for those she attacks. She consumes them somehow, but it is also difficult to describe. The film is strange, but in a way that works, rather than harms. It is Not just centered on an extraterrestrial, but the whole film has the impression of having been able to be shot and edited by extraterrestrials. Everything is super strange, uncomfortable and provocative.
These qualities make it a great science fiction film, however, and no other film on an extraterrestrial or extraterrestrials coming to earth looks a lot like Under the skin. Maybe The man who fell on earth is the closest film that it can be compared, and the one followed by Under the skin would make a double functionality. Under the skin Will not be – and has not been – appreciated by everyone, but also, pleasure may not be. It is an experience, and it is indeed horrible and strange in a way that few films have been previously. In addition, with regard to the performance of Scarlett Johansson, it does not look like any other role it has played, and it therefore also works as something that demonstrates its impressive (and sometimes underestimated) theater range.

‘Her’ (2013)
Directed by Spike Jonze
For a kind of completely different science fiction film with Scarlett Johansson which also released in 2013, here Herwhich is not as horrible as Under the skin. This one is more a romantic dramatic which also has science fiction at the center of its premisebe about a lonely man (Joaquin Phoenix) which develops a kind of relationship with an operating system, and this operating system is expressed by Johansson. So, it is a role only for her, and it would generally be something that would be difficult to consider and / or to assess alongside live action performance, but Johansson is phenomenal here, realizing what is probably one of the best roles of vocal and most memorable.
Phoenix is also worthy of praise, of course, because he must sell this improbable relationship and make it feel natural and emotional, but Johansson does so much with anything other than his voice and really helps Her Work much better than what you could expect. Her is simple, surprisingly good and very easy to be swept emotionally. There is an almost unlimited number of ways, including a film with a premise like this could have turned badly, but instead, Her Works so well that it is honestly a struggle to distinguish all aspects that did not go well. It is a film that will ultimately be considered a classic, if it is not already, being visually magnificent, shocking in a shocking way and generally moving without effort.

‘Story wedding’ (2019)
Directed by Noah Baumbach
2019 was a particularly formidable year for Scarlett Johansson, because not only did she have her show in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time (the previously mentioned Avengers: end of game), but it is also the year when she received two Oscar nominations and her two to date. One was the best support actress, to Jojoin which she is excellent, but it is not quite a perfect or masterful film; It’s just a little too messy and chaotic tones, even if some parts are powerful. The other was for Best actress, for Wedding storyAnd it was an almost perfect performance given in a film close to the rawfless.
It is a film that is all about the game, and it gives a very talented casting a lot of material with which to work with. The emotions are very high, because the story here concerns a marriage that has broken down, with Johansson and Adam Driver Play the couple who must now face all the challenges that come with the divorce. It is heavy, intense sometimes and quite uncompromising as a drama, but the approach makes wonders. And Driver and Johansson are more than left to manage the often barge scenes in which they must be, to the point where Wedding story May well have both in their respective career records (and that speaks volumes in both cases). It’s not a happy film, but it’s a moving film that offers Catharsis, at least at the end. It is raw, played in an expert and undeniably powerful way, and probably the best film that Scarlett Johansson has played to date.
