In an interview with THR, Scarlett Johansson was asked how she felt about the acclaimed director Woody Allen, who directed her in three films — Match Point, Scoop and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She said:
Looks like Johansson has pitched a tent at the same campsite as the likes of Javier Bardem and Anjelica Huston while the likes of Michael Caine, Greta Gerwig and Timothee Chalamet have all expressed regret about working with Woody Allen. While I personally don’t think Woody Allen is innocent, it’s difficult to fault Scarlett Johansson for feeling this way. After all, multiple investigations against Allen have been conducted in the past and all of them have concluded that there isn’t enough evidence to suggest sexual misconduct.
On a lighter note, Johansson also talked to THR about the solo Black Widow movie that’s set to hit theatres next year. The actress will not just be reprising her role as the titular ass-kicker but also serve as an executive producer. Regarding her executive producer role, she said: Black Widow is directed by Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome, Lore) and is set for a 1 May 2020 release.
