Scarlett Johansson is finally back with us. The most anticipated diva of the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival for her role in Asteroid Cityby Wes Andersonshone on the red carpet on the Croisette with her sunny smile and in a pink Prada dress.
A lot has happened in the four years of absence from Scarlett of the international media scene. In 2019 she presented at the Venice Festival story of a marriage, by Noah Baumbach (now on Netflix), a film about the pain of separation that he interpreted -so he hinted- from a personal experience. After all, even in the role of the star of the 50s created by Wes Anderson he has put his whole being: “I have been acting for so long that each character is the product of both my conscious and my unconscious, an extension of me and my of my dreams,” he said at the press conference.
At just 38 years old, Scarlett Johansson seems to have lived several lives, and not just because she started acting as a child and now has about 70 titles, between movies and series: “I’m competitive,” she often says. She loves challenges and she risks taking a turn, professional and human, as she has done recently.
He returns after ending a long cycle of films with Natasha Romanoff-black widowthe Marvel heroine who has appeared in nine titles, from Iron Man 2 from Jon Favreau in 2010 to black widow by Cate Shortland in 2021, have taken her to the top of the box office: her collection on the big screen amounts to 13.3 billion euros worldwide and her cache is around 20 million per film.
If today she is one of the most sought-after actresses, however, it is not only thanks to the blockbuster saga, but also to her great versatility in moving from pop cinema to auteur cinema. And speaking of changes: on the Croisette she appeared with Colin Jost, whom she married in 2020her third husband after divorcing Ryan Reynolds in 2011 and the French journalist Romain Dauriac in 2017 (with whom, nine years ago, she had her daughter Rose).
