Scarlett Johansson Reflects on Hollywood's Evolving Roles for Women

Scarlett Johansson, celebrated for her roles in blockbuster hits like 'Avengers' and 'Black Widow', recently reflected on the evolution of roles for women in Hollywood as reported by Variety. Johansson recalls that early in her career, roles often centered around 'desirability' and catered to male-driven narratives.

However, Johansson observes a progressive change in the industry, now offering a 'different time for young women.' According to the actress, there is a noticeable shift in messaging, with more female role models in powerful positions and opportunities to portray complex, multi-dimensional characters increasing.

Johansson has been outspoken about her experiences of hypersexualization in the industry. She recalls being pigeonholed, with public perception veering towards an older image than her actual age. This labeling influenced the nature of roles she was offered, a trend she sees diminishing in contemporary Hollywood.
