Scarlett Johansson On Screen In New Role Our Movie: Scarlett Johansson Gravity Movie Role – When first approached about staring in Alfonso Cuaron’s latest cinematic creation, Gravity, Scarlett Johansson declined the offer. However, it seems as though the starlet has changed her mind, as she has taken over from Angelina Jolie to star in the sci-fi epic. Gravity is said to be one of the most ambitious movies since Avatar. Those who follow new releases will be aware of just how successful Avatar actually was, and still is, so this is certainly a bold statement.

Her leading co star is set to be Robert Downey JR, and they are no strangers after working together on the hugely successful Iron Man 2. Some critics have slated this decision, but it can’t be said that they do not gel together on screen. Sources claim that Johansson verbally agreed to be the new leading lady in Gravity, after terms were agreed.Reportedly, Angelina Jolie had signed up to play the lead, but retracted her services after finding out that she would be slitting time with a male lead. Whether or not this is rue, it is unclear.

The stars busy work schedule would indicate that this is going to be a lot of hard work, but Johansson was more than happy to fill Jolie’s talented boots. Let’s face it, they are both very talented actresses so both of them would have been sure to give it their all and offer a grand performance.
