From earning two Oscar nods to starring in some of the biggest blockbusters of this century, Scarlett Johansson’s accomplishments in showbiz know no bounds. Since rising to prominence in the 2000s with Lost in Translation and later with her stint in the MCU, the Marriage Story star has cemented herself as one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now.
However, her dreams aren’t limited to the confinements of the silver screen, as apart from excelling as an actor, the actress shared her two dreams, which might not come as easily.
Scarlett Johansson sheds light on her two goals
Joining her Fly Me to the Moon co-star Channing Tatum during the latest edition of Spilling the E-Tea (via Entertainment Tonight), Scarlett Johansson revealed two goals that she’d like to accomplish.
One of them involved being President of SAG-AFTRA, which makes sense, as she hasn’t shied away to stand for the union. Moreover, SAG-AFTRA too recently applauded the Marvel star following her stance against OpenAI, which wanted to replicate her voice for its new GPT-4.0 model.
A spokesperson for the Guild said (via NBC News):
We thank Ms. Johansson for speaking out on this issue of crucial importance to all SAG-AFTRA members. We share in her concerns and fully support her right to have clarity and transparency regarding the voice used in developing the Chat GPT-4o appliance ‘Sky‘.
Johansson also expressed her desire to learn a new language at some point, especially Pig Latin, “but I don’t know if that’s going to happen”. However, things are still looking bright, as the actor has made some pretty notable progress in her journey to learn Pig Latin.
Scarlett Johansson might finally share the screen with Tom Cruise
Although it might be a while before we see her doing either of those two, if ever, there’s a pretty good chance we might see the Lucy star collaborate with the biggest movie star in the world right now. When asked last year, if she was interested in working with Tom Cruise in the future, Johansson said (via THR): “I’d love to work with Tom Cruise.”
Similar to her, the Mission: Impossible star showcased interest in joining forces with the Oscar-nominated star, stressing (via Entertainment Tonight):
I’d love to make a movie with her. I’ve been wanting to make movie with her. She is enormously talented. So charismatic, versatile. She has great physical ability obviously.
Moreover, the two might finally share the screen together, as Scarlett Johansson has been reportedly added to the cast of The Gauntlet remake, starring Tom Cruise. If this did turn out to be true, it wouldn’t be surprising following their viewpoints on each other.
