Scarlett Johansson to Star in Film "Bride"

Scarlett Johansson will produce and star in the science-fiction film entitled "Bride".

Chilean director Sebastián Lelio, who has helmed female-fronted films like the Oscar-winning "A Fantastic Woman", "Disobedience", and "Gloria", is set to direct the film, which is also co-writing with Lauren Schuker Blum, and Rebecca Angelo.

The plot follows a woman designed by an obsessive and brilliant entrepreneur to be the ideal wife. When she rejects her creator, she is forced to flee her confined existence, confronting a world that sees her as a monster.

Johansson is also starring in the highly-anticipated, "Black Widow" stand-alone from Disney, and Marvel. Initially slated for release in May, the film will now open on May 7, 2021.

The movie features one of the most beloved characters from the Avengers franchise. Black Widow has been in the works for a fairly long time, however, its release was postponed due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Marvel movies have been the kickoff to the summer movie-going season for the past years.

The black Widow is a prequel set in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, in particular, taking place in the two-year gap between “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War“.

Johansson reprises her role as Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanova, who died heroically in Avengers: Endgame.

The highly-anticipated movie also features David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz. It is directed by Cate Shortland.

Johansson has already portrayed the character in previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films, such as “Iron Man 2” (2010), “The Avengers” (2012), “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), “Captain Marvel” (2019), and “Avengers: Endgame” (2019).
