In 1995, it was in a small family comedy that Scarlett Johansson first appeared on the big screen. Decades later, Johansson would become one of the members of ‘The Avengers’. This was her first film.
Many years before she appeared in the Battle of New York alongside Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Hawkeye in the first Avengers film, Scarlett Johansson was already a star. The New York actress joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Black Widow, having her last appearance in Avengers: Endgame, sacrificing her life to obtain one of the Infinity Stones.
However, beyond the MCU, Scarlett Johansson’s long and rich career is far from limited solely to her superhero exploits. The actress was nominated in 2020 in two categories: for Best Actress thanks to her impressive performance alongside Adam Driver in Marriage Story; and Best Supporting Actress for Jojo Rabbit, a film written and directed by Taika Waititi.
Within her career, Johansson can boast of having vocally interpreted the artificial intelligence of Her in Spike Jonze’s film, the endearing Charlotte in Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Tokyo, or the destabilizing alien in Under the Skin. But like all Hollywood stars, Scarlett Johansson started out with much smaller roles before achieving success. To discover her first steps on a film set, you have to go back 28 years in time.

In 1994, when she was barely ten years old, Johansson had a small role alongside Elijah Wood, long before she gained fame with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Until almost the end of the movie A Boy Called North, a little Scarlett Johansson appears playing the youngest of the family. This family comedy tells the adventures of an abandoned child who is abandoned by his parents and who decides to look for a new home.

If this is the first time you’re hearing about the film, it’s not surprising. Although the cast is truly top-notch with Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Dan Aykroyd and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, A Boy Called North was a complete catastrophic failure at the box office. With a budget of around $40 million, the comedy only managed to gross $12 million worldwide.

The very young actress, who had already done theater alongside Ethan Hawke and who had also auditioned to play little Judy in Jumanji (a role that Kirsten Dunst finally got), Johansson quickly achieved increasingly important roles. After A Boy Called North, the public was able to see her play the daughter of Sean Connery and Kate Capshaw in Just Cause, and in Lord of the Horses alongside Robert Redford, a role that allowed her to demonstrate the scope of her talent to the entire world. .
