Scarlett Johansson is starting work on her fourth major movie series after her time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it will be her eighth large-scale film project overall. For over ten years, she was famous for playing Black Widow in the MCU. However, she announced in 2020 that she would be leaving the role and the superhero world.
Despite everything, Johansson is returning to big franchise films. She’s already been in two more major movie series, and she’s now signed on for a third one coming out in the next couple of years.
Scarlett Johansson is joining the cast of Matt Reeves’ The Batman – Part II, according to Deadline. While her exact role hasn’t been revealed, rumors suggest she might play a new romantic interest for Robert Pattinson’s Batman, and possibly even a villain.
This news follows the recent announcement that Johansson will star in Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Exorcist movie, produced by Blumhouse and Universal. This new take on the iconic horror series arrives a few years after 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer, which didn’t perform as well as hoped at the box office.
With her role in The Batman, Scarlett Johansson continues to be a major star in blockbuster franchises. She’s already appeared in eight other large-scale film series, including some of Hollywood’s most successful ever.
Every Major Movie Franchise Scarlett Johansson Has Appeared In
Home Alone
One of Scarlett Johansson’s earliest acting roles was in the 1997 film Home Alone 3. She played Molly Pruitt, the younger sister of the main character, Alex, as he worked to protect their house from a clumsy group of burglars.
SpongeBob SquarePants
Did you know Scarlett Johansson was in the first SpongeBob movie? She actually voiced Princess Mindy, Neptune’s daughter, in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Scarlett Johansson is best known worldwide for her role as Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over eleven years, from 2010 to 2021, she portrayed the character – a former assassin who became a hero – in nine Marvel films.
Sing
Besides the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sing is the only other film series where Scarlett Johansson has starred in multiple movies. In these popular animated musicals, she voices Ash, a teenage porcupine who loves punk rock.
Ghost in the Shell
I remember when Scarlett Johansson took on a really ambitious project back in 2017 – a live-action version of the iconic anime, Ghost in the Shell. She played Motoko Kusanagi, a tough, cybernetically-enhanced detective, and honestly, it was a brave attempt to bring Masamune Shirow’s famous cyberpunk world to life, though the movie itself didn’t quite land with everyone.
Transformers
In 2024, Scarlett Johansson joined the world of Transformers, lending her voice to the animated film Transformers One. She starred alongside her Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) colleagues Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, voicing the character Elita-1.
Jurassic World
As a huge movie fan, I was really excited to see Scarlett Johansson trade fighting superheroes and robots for dinosaurs! After all her action-packed roles in the MCU, she jumped into the Jurassic World universe earlier this year with Jurassic World: Rebirth. And get this – they’ve already announced a sequel, so it looks like we haven’t seen the last of her battling dinos, which is awesome!
Exorcist
Scarlett Johansson is set to star in the next installment of The Exorcist series, one of two new movie franchises she’s joining. The film, directed and written by horror expert Mike Flanagan, will relaunch the 52-year-old series and begin a new chapter with Johansson leading the cast.
The Batman
Many assumed Scarlett Johansson was finished with superhero movies after her time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, she’s returning to the genre with a role in The Batman 2, joining Robert Pattinson and Jeffrey Wright in the upcoming DC Comics film. The Batman 2 is currently set for release on October 1, 2027.
