In an interview with TheWrap, Chastain discussed an issue she has with marvel and the lack of support for a movie starring Scarlett Johansson playing her character Black Widow from The Avengers. During the interview Chastain said ““Where is the Scarlett Johansson superhero movie? I don't understand it, why is it taking so long for this? You want to make money, put Scarlett Johansson in a superhero movie!,” TheWrap reports .
The actress also added that times are changing for women in film, Johansson’s latest film Lucy beat The Rock’s Hercules during its opening weekend and the movie has earned about $217 million so far.
This isn’t the first time Chastain has spoken out against the roles for women in Hollywood, in a different interview; the actress discussed that she felt women’s stories aren’t as nurtured and developed as stories for men when brought to the big screen. The Huffington Post reports .
Arguments about diversity in movies have been going on in Hollywood for a while now, with many actresses coming forward about roles for women and how they are presented in films. Actresses make it a point to say that movies with women at the center do make money at the box office and audiences are eager to see them.
