While Scarlett Johansson has plenty of non-genre material on her resume, she has also done quite a nice job becoming a blockbuster franchise maven. In addition to her many years playing Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the last few years have also seen her voice a Transformer and get chased by dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Rebirth, and it was just recently that she landed the lead role in writer/director Mike Flanagan's upcoming Exorcist movie. But she's not stopping there! According to new reports, she is now setting up her first appearance in a feature from DC Studios, as she is in talks for a role in The Batman Part II.
What part she will play in the upcoming film is not yet clear (we don't even know if it will be a hero or villain role), but The Hollywood Reporter has gotten word that she is in negotiations for the long-developing sequel. Should she end up signing on the proverbial dotted line, she will join a canon that is populated with tremendous acting talent including Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis and Barry Keoghan.
