Summary
- Johansson questions the necessity and audience for studio projects.

- Her upcoming project, 'Scapegoat,' is with filmmaker Ari Aster and A24.
Scarlett Johansson recently shared her critical perspective on studio film projects, questioning their necessity and intended audience. "I don't think you should make this. I don't know who you're making this for. It seems irresponsible to make this," she told the Los Angeles Times.
Johansson's recent studio output includes major tentpoles like "Jurassic World Rebirth" and upcoming roles in "The Exorcist: Martyrs" (March 12, 2027) and "The Batman 2" (February 18, 2028).
The Oscar nominee also reflected on past disappointments, including losing out on roles in "Gravity" and "Iron Man 2." These near-misses led her to a creative crisis, fearing her career was stagnating.
Currently, Johansson is preparing for "Scapegoat," a new film by Ari Aster, backed by A24, which she described as intensely unique. This project follows her work on major studio productions, showcasing her continued balance of blockbuster and indie filmmaking.
