Scarlett Johansson has a broad and depth acting career from her notable voice acting to her role as Black Widow in Marvel movies.
Scarlett Johansson has had an extensive career, having started by taking on minor roles as a child and transitioning to larger roles as an adult. Today, she has starred in films across genres including serious dramas, high-energy action films, and even superhero blockbusters. Because of this, we thought we'd take a look at her best movies to date and see how they stack up. Rather than ranking them ourselves, however, we decided to turn to IMDb for answers.
The popular movie and TV show website has assigned every one of Johansson's movies a star rating. This score is based on the votes of registered users on a scale of 1 to 10, and it's what we'll be using to put her films in order.
With that said, it's time to pull out some popcorn and enjoy the show. Here are Scarlett Johansson's best movies to date, according to IMDb.
