Scarlett Johansson is set to be the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.
After Johansson’s popular turn as Black Widow in The Avengers, a role she reprised from Iron Man 2, producers for The Avengers 2 are willing to shell out some serious dough for her to reprise her role. According to The Sun’s source, producers find Johansson necessary to the sequel.
Producers think that as the only lead woman in the film male fans have found her a key ingredient both for sex and story appeal. She is loved by critics too.
The Avengers swept the box office this summer. It is now the third highest grossing film of all time, making $612.3 million domestically and $1.46 billion worldwide.
