In addition to her work as Natasha Romanoff, often known as Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson is most recognised for her groundbreaking acting career, which includes roles in films such as Asteroid City and JoJo Rabbit, as well as numerous parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, according to an exclusive article published in Variety, Johansson is on the verge of following in the footsteps of a great number of outstanding actresses by putting her abilities behind the camera as a director. Eleanor the Great is the title of her first directorial effort, and she has recently introduced Jessica Hecht, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and June Squibb to the cast of the film.

Scarlett Johansson is Directing Eleanor The Great

Despite the fact that the film was only recently announced, the title has already been changed. Initially, it was claimed that the film would be titled Eleanor, Invisible; however, this has now been changed.

At this point in time, there is not a great deal of information available regarding the storyline of Eleanor the Great; nevertheless, Variety has confirmed that the story will revolve around an old woman whose life undergoes a significant transformation following the passing of her closest companion.

The Movie Stars June Squibb

After residing in Florida for a considerable amount of time, the woman who is the protagonist of the story, who will be portrayed by June Squibb, will go back to her home state of New York in an effort to begin a new and exciting chapter in her life. Aside from the fact that she has been nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in the film Nebraska (2013), Squibb has approximately one hundred credits on IMDb for her decades of work in front of the camera. Not only is Scarlett Johansson attached to direct the film, but she is also attached to produce it, along with representatives from Pinky Promise, These Pictures, and Maven Screen Media.
