\n\tScarlett Johansson isn\u2019t new to the superhero genre, but her role in \u201cThe Batman: Part II\u201d still proved to be its own challenge.<\/p>\n
\n\tJohansson told<\/a> \u201cEntertainment Tonight\u201d\u00a0that her upcoming role in the Robert Pattinson-led feature, which hasn\u2019t been revealed, pushed her outside her comfort zone and spurred \u201ca lot of existential angst, for some reason.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt was very hard to figure out,\u201d\u00a0she told the outlet in an interview for her upcoming film \u201cPaper Tiger.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know why, whether it was just the role or it was just where I am in my life, but it was just hard to crack it. And that\u2019s all I can say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJohansson\u2018s role in the film was confirmed<\/a> in May in an X post by director Matt Reeves, which offered nothing more than a GIF of the actress\u2019 reflection in a car\u2019s rear view mirror from the 2013 film \u201cUnder the Skin.\u201d Her casting was confirmed alongside several other superhero flick alumni in undisclosed roles, including Sebastian Stan and Brian Tyree Henry.<\/p>\n \n\tProduction on the film is currently being led <\/a>by Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh after Reeves, who also helmed 2022\u2019s \u201cThe Batman,\u201d temporarily stepped away from the film due to a personal matter. Reeves has said the film would focus more on Pattinson\u2019s Bruce Wayne after the first film heavily followed his Batman incarnation.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOnce you get past the origin tale, which we didn\u2019t quite do, but we did something that referred to his origins, then you start telling the Rogues Gallery story and that character\u2019s sort of arch,\u201d Reeves said in an interview<\/a> last year. \u201cBut I never wanted to lose [Robert Pattinson<\/a>] at the center of these stories, and so that is really what we set our aim on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scarlett Johansson isn\u2019t new to the superhero genre, but her role in \u201cThe Batman: Part II\u201d still proved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,270,285967,19893],"class_list":["post-675208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-scarlett-johannson","tag-the-batman-part-ii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
