She is now one of the popular actresses in Holywood today and is usually high up in magazine's top 100 sexiest women in the world lists.
With more roles already confirmed for the next few years, it is safe to say that Johansson's career is not finishing anytime soon.
A few honorable mentions to speak of. I'll begin with Girl With A Pearl Earring. The breakthrough film of Johansson's career. Based on the how the famous drawing by painter Johannes Vermeer was made, this is a well structured period drama that gives great philosophy into the art of drawing.
There are also a great performance by lead male Colin Firth.
Another is, The Island. A really enjoyable popcorn flick that is great to just watch when you want to switch your mind off. The pace is frenetic, the story is interesting, we have likable characters and it is great entertainment. Co-leading with Ewan McGregor, Johansson gives us a great physical performance that I felt helped her get her role in Marvel.
Just missing out on the top is Chef. A highly enjoyable feel-good comedy that sees a chef quit his job and buy a food truck to fulfill his creativity with food whilst bringing his family back together. Johansson plays the restaurant's hostess and does a solid job at her supporting role that plays a fairly important role in the first two thirds of the film.
If this was a top 11, Captain America: The Winter Soldier would have made it. A big favorite in the Marvel franchise as something that felt more than just a generic superhero film. With great spy and espionage elements to its story, this definitely gives something a little different to Marvel's long list of successful blockbusters. Johansson's on-screen chemistry with male lead Chris Evans is essential to the success of this film.

10) Jojo Rabbit - A hilarious and suprisingly poignant WWII political satire from the mind of New Zealand director Taika Waititi.
It sees a young boy devoting himself to Hitler's army. But when he discovers his mother is hiding a Jew in their home, his attention towards the Nazi army begins to change.
Johansson plays the mother and has great chemistry with the central character that is very pleasant to watch.
9) Captain America: Civil War - Johansson in her fifth venture as Agent Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow is probably the tensest and most action packed yet.
When politics interferes with The Avengers activities, the group is split on their views on this.
What we get is a great mashup of amazing action and in-depth character studies.
8) Avengers Assemble - The highest grossing film of 2012 and it sees the end of Marvel's first phase in it's Cinematic Universe.
After her debut in Iron Man 2, Johansson is back and seen as an important member of the Avengers as one of SHIELD's best and most talented agents.
Johansson definitely gets a few scene stealing moments.
7) Under The Skin - Saw this a couple of years ago and it is by far one of the most interesting and atmospheric films I have seen in a long time.
A mysterious character goes around Glasgow seducing lonely men and leading them to a tragic fate. Johansson's character also goes through a process of self-discovery.
Not everything quite works, but its ambition is certainly worthy enough for this to be viewed. It also contains a truly disturbing scene that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
6) Lost In Translation - One of the most critically acclaimed films of the 21st century.
It sees Bill Murray play a faded movie star endorsement a Japanese product and pretty much bored with life.
But when he stumbles upon a young woman played by Johansson, they form an unlikely bond and begin a care-free friendship in Tokyo.
5) Marriage Story - An impactful and surprisingly hilarious drama that is being seen as this generations Kramer vs. Kramer. It sees Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver's characters begin the process of a divorce while trying to keep their family together.
The opening scene does so well to hook you in. After that, it brings out all the emotions and Johansson and Driver together are completely engaging.
4) Her - Winner of an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay last year, this is certainly a romantic drama for the modern age.
It sees a lonely writer develop a relationship with his brand new operating system that is designed to meet to the customer's every need.
3) Avengers: Endgame - The culmination of the Avengers saga within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It sees the remaining Avengers regoup and looking to correct their mistakes, defeat the evil Thanos and restore balance to the universe.
Johansson is back once again as Black Widow.
2) Avengers: Infinity War - What I consider to be the best film within the MCU. This is constantly action packed sci-fi action-adventure see the Avengers teaming up with the Guardians Of The Galaxy to prevent Thanos from eliminating half of all life in the universe.
It is pure blockbuster entertainment and it's brave ending adds to the impact and the reason why it is considered by many as the best in the franchise.
Johansson continues her role as Black Widow and her physical acting is as ever present in a very effective way.
1) The Prestige - A terrific period mystery drama that centres on two rival magicians in the Victoria era trying to out-do each others magic show.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, this is truly thrilling experience with many twists and turns that will make you discuss for a longer time.
Johansson plays a minor role as one of the magicians assistants.

19) Avengers: Age Of Ultron
18) Sing
