In June, Scarlett has already cemented her place in the Hollywood history as the highest grossing actress, when Box Office Mojo reported that movies featuring the star grossed $3.3 billion in domestic box office revenue.

When the actress was asked about the gender wage gap that plagues the film industry, Ms Johansson said:

‘I am very fortunate, I make a really good living, and I’m proud to be an actress who’s making as much as many of my male peers at this stage. I think every woman has [been underpaid], but unless I’m addressing it as a larger problem, for me to talk about my own personal experience with it feels a little obnoxious. It’s part of a larger conversation about feminism in general.’
