Scarlett Johansson reveals how she fought her way out of the Hollywood 'sex symbol' box: 'I was cast for my desirability - that's shifted'


The Black Widow star, 40, has revealed how she fought her way out of the Hollywood 'sex symbol' box, saying she was once cast purely for her looks.

The two-time Oscar nominee has gone from playing the sexy love interest in rom-coms like He's Just Not That Into You, to hard-hitting parts in Marriage Story, Under the Skin, and a Marvel franchise that helped her become the highest-grossing actress of all time, with over $14 billion at the box office. For the top-secret mission, they must safely obtain and bring back the genetic material of the most dangerous and largest dinosaurs the world has ever seen, made even more ferocious after the previous Jurassic Park scientists experimented on them. The star-studded cast also includes Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, Ed Skrein and many more.
