We only hear about Scarlett Johannson these days when it comes to her fight with Disney. But this time it’s about something else. Johansson is joining Wes Anderson’s new film. 

Scarlett Johansson is going from the worlds of Marvel to the world of Wes Anderson. She has found her follow-up to the lawsuit against Disney that recently sent Hollywood spinning.

The Oscar-nominated star of “Marriage Story” and “Jojo Rabbit” has joined the A-list cast of Wes Anderson’s latest project, sure to be another impeccably directed and intensely realized foray into auteur-ism.

She joins an ensemble that already boasts previous Anderson veterans Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, and Bill Murray, as well as newbies to the director’s world, such as Margot Robbie and Tom Hanks.

Johansson previously collaborated with the “Rushmore” filmmaker on his stop-motion feature “Isle of Dogs,” but this is her first time appearing in one of his live-action efforts. The film is still untitled.

Plot details for the feature, which Anderson wrote and is directing, are being kept under wraps, and Johansson’s character details were not revealed.

Johansson recently sued Disney for breach of contract after the company opted to release “Black Widow”, which was partly shot in Hungary, simultaneously in theatres and on Disney Plus, where fans could rent the film for $30. The actress says this move depressed ticket sales, costing her $50 million in box office bonuses.

Disney has countered that her contract ensured a wide release, not an exclusive theatrical release — an obligation it says it fulfilled. The public legal fight has been closely scrutinized.

Johansson’s credits include “Lost in Translation,” “The Prestige,” “Match Point,” “Under the Skin,” and “Ghost World.” She also won a Tony Award for her work in “A View From the Bridge.” She also scored double Oscar nominations in 2020 for “Marriage Story” and “Jojo Rabbit”.

Johansson is repped by CAA and Morris Yorn.
