What's Inside?

  • Scarlett Johansson reveals she was offered hypersexualized roles under the male gaze during her early years in Hollywood spotlight.
  • Johansson believes Hollywood has evolved, offering women more empowering roles with complex stories beyond just desirability or male-centered arcs.
  • Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Scarlett stars in Jurassic Park: Rebirth as Zora Bennet, a fearless mercenary chasing dinosaur DNA.

The very famous MARVEL icon, Scarlett Johansson, or who we know today as “Black Widow,” revealed something that left the media and the fans awestruck. She was the spotlight queen from the very beginning. Starting from her very first film debut, North, 1994, she grew up in the spotlight. While at a very young age, she was the center of the “male gaze”. She was being cast in hypersexualized roles while girls her age were still watching Nickelodeon and Disney Movies. However, Hollywood seems a much better platform now than when she started off her career. As she struggled through her roles in the early days of her career as a Hollywood actress, she remained determined and committed to her emerging roles and never let that hamper her profession.

Scarlett Johansson has been a part of some of the greatest movies of Hollywood, some of which she has had a lead role in. Starting from the very first movie, North 1994; Girl with a Pearl Earring, 2003; A Good Woman, 2004; Lucy, 2014; and the MARVEL series, not to mention. However, according to her, most of the movies that featured her either had a lot of sex appeal or a “male-centered story.” Scarlett Johansson claims them to be “Deeply Unfulfilling.” 

According to the reports published by The Times of London, Johansson revealed that most of the roles that she was offered had their sense of “Desirability”. “You know, it’s a different time for young women,” said the Hollywood actress.

“The messaging is different — there are many more role models, women are visible in powerful positions and the opportunities I have had to play women who don’t have to just be one thing or another have increased. But when I was younger, a lot of the roles I was offered, or I went for, had their ambitions or character arcs revolving around their own desirability, or the male gaze, or a male-centred story. That is less frequent, though — something has shifted.”

Scarlett Johansson is an original Jurassic Park fan, and she remembers going back in time when she used to watch the movies in the theatre. “I was blown away as a kid, seeing that shot where Laura Dern turns towards the brontosaurus, or was it a brachiosaurus? I didn’t learn enough in dino school, I guess, but then the John Williams score comes in…”, she stammers during her interview, remembering her childhood shock.

In the new movie, Jurassic Park: Rebirth, she is playing the character of Zora Bennet, a mercenary who leads a team of experts to track down the DNA of the dinosaurs. She is now officially the star of the 30-year-old franchise, which is practically a dream-come-true moment for her. “It was a childhood dream of mine to be in this movie. I’ve been trying to get in the ‘Jurassic’ universe for three decades,” Scarlett Johansson said. She further added, “I saw the movie ‘Jurassic Park’ when I was 10 years old in the theater and it was so impactful, Like the entire audience, I was completely transfixed, mesmerized, carried away, terrified, all of that stuff, and it’s part of the formative part of my childhood.”
