They must have given her a LOT of money. Or she was already under contract.
Because what the hell benefit is there to Scarlett Johansson doing a movie on a brief interim period in the life of a character who we know is dead?
I mean...why? This isn't even a prequel where some unheralded actress gets her big break trading on Marvel's reputation/fame. This is an established star essentially spinning her wheels playing a part with an arc that we already know the end of.
I guess I understand why people would watch it - it looks like fine summer popcorn fare with some cool action pieces. And if people will watch Ant-Man (with a character who's arc they certainly never cared about), then I suspect they'll watch this as well.
I just don't understand why Johansson would DO it. Apart from a really big check...
