Throughout her career, Scarlett Johansson has taken on some questionable films. In fact, she was deemed as embarrᴀssingly over-qualified for The Perfect Score, and some feared the film could’ve ruined her career.

Scarlett would go on to reveal that she easily could’ve settled with these circumstances given her success in Hollywood. However, that just wasn’t in her nature.

It all turned out to be just fine for the actress as the film was able to bounce back in a major way following its disastrous start at the Venice Film Festival.

She continues, “I think it was because of that trajectory I had been sort of launched towards — I really got stuck,” she said.

“It would be easy to sit across from someone in that situation and go, ‘This is working, why change it?’ But for that kind of bombshell, you know, that burns bright and quick and then it’s done and you don’t have opportunity beyond that.”
