#SHOWBIZ: Scarlett Johansson on her 'Batman 2' role: 'It gave me existential angst'
LOS ANGELES: Scarlett Johansson might be used to superhero films, but her upcoming role in The Batman: Part II has brought a few unexpected challenges.
Los Angeles - Scarlett Johansson, accustomed to superhero roles, found her upcoming part in The Batman: Part II to be quite different. While her character remains undisclosed, Johansson admitted that the role thrust her into uncharted territory, evoking a sense of existential angst. During a recent interview on Entertainment Tonight while promoting Paper Tiger, the actress revealed that deciphering her character posed a significant challenge.
Johansson admitted, "It was very hard to figure out. I don't know why, whether it was just the role or it was just where I am in my life, but it was just hard to crack it." Director Matt Reeves confirmed her casting in May through a post on X, sharing a GIF of Johansson from Under the Skin. The film, set to star Sebastian Stan and Brian Tyree Henry, is being directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, following Reeves' temporary departure due to a personal matter.
