Scarlett Johansson is best known for her portrayal of the Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But she has never failed to prove her acting skills as and when she steps out of the franchise. She boasts an impressive catalogue which includes movies like Lucy, Marriage Story, A Good Woman and more. One more project that she was wonderful in was The Black Dahlia, directed by Brian De Palma.
The actress, in one of her interviews, explained how she had to convince the director to cast her in the film. One might remember De Palma from Mission: Impossible. The two collaborated on the 2006 neo-noir crime thriller which gave Johansson yet another chance to prove her acting capabilities.
Scarlett Johansson explains how she was determined to work in a movie where there were two female leads. However, it did not come easy. As per Fandomwire, speaking at a media event, “I was originally excited just hearing that Brian had a film that he was directing with two female roles. I’ve always wanted to work with him and have been a huge fan of his. So I met with him and I tried to convince him that I could play this role that I’m in the book, I’m completely physically wrong for him.”
