My Assistant Buys A New House

Mommy, what's wrong with that man? I was reading this thing about Scarlett Johansson playing Black Widow. Apparently originally when she auditioned for it, it was her and Emily Blunt like in the final audition rounds or whatever, and Emily Blunt actually got the role first, but there were scheduling conflicts because she was in Gulliver's Travel. It was like a movie with Jack Black, and for the movie she was gonna get paid like $500,000 as opposed to like The First Avengers or wherever Scarlett was in first, she would have gotten paid $400,000. So it was a $100,000 difference and her agent decided to go with the one that paid more because she was going to make an extra $100,000. But if she would have stayed with the Avengers and she was Black Widow, she would have made a little over $100 million now. Oh my God. Oh my God. So it's one decision and Emily Blunt literally had it in the fucking bag. Could you imagine having it like you got the role? I'm sorry, I'm doing— I'm doing Gulliver's Travel.

I'd be forever pissed. Yeah, dude, that would be nothing that could ever bring me out of that.

When they give her that Marvel contract, isn't it like several movies? So why would she turn that down? I mean, they must have— they must have told her it's just one movie.
