Earlier this year, Johansson also recalled the time she lost a role in director Alfonso Cuarón’s 2013 movieGravity. The actress toldVariety,
“I got turned down for two roles – the first was Iron Man 2 and then the other one was Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. I had wanted that role so much. It was sort of the straw that broke the camel’s back. I felt really frustrated and hopeless. Like, ‘Am I doing the right job?’ The work I was being offered felt deeply unfulfilling. I think I was offered every Marilyn Monroe script ever. I was like, ‘Is this the end of the road creatively?'”
