Scarlett Johansson has opened up about her early career challenges.

Speaking with The Sunday Times, the actress, set to star in the upcoming Jurassic World: Rebirth, admitted that she was once cast only because of her looks.

However, Johansson, who played roles of sexy love interest in films like He's Just Not That Into You, added that this has changed now.

She revealed, “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.”

“I just waited. I had to become comfortable with the idea that it could take some time. Which is hard when you're a young actor, but at that time I didn't have any children,” the actress noted.

It is worth mentioning that Scarlett Johansson is also famously known for her role in Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she played the role of Natasha Romanoff.

Now, the actress is returning in Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is scheduled to release on July 2, 2025.
