"Since an extremely young age, I am rejected constantly ... the very best call you can receive is once you are rejected for something and you get it. You enjoy it more. I've basically made a career out to be second choice," she added. Johansson became children name with her role as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but she wasn't at first cast in the role. 

She got the part after Emily Blunt had to drop out because of scheduling reasons. During the past, the Oscar nominee has expressed frustration at roles she had to carefully turn down.
