Scarlett Johansson is back! In case fans were still feeling let down when she skipped a prestigious movie premiere earlier this year…
The Oscar-nominated actress, 41, has been busy filming yet another feature, The Exorcist: Martyrs, but just took time to reunite with Adam Driver and Miles Teller for the U.S. premiere of their new drama film.
After all, Paper Tiger takes place in New York, so it was only fitting to have all three of its stars, plus director James Gray, on hand for the New York Film Festival screening Friday, September 25.
Johansson reliably stunned in a flashy dress on the red carpet, posing with a suited-up Driver, 42, and Teller, 39, on either side for a number of photos. Check out one example below.
Johansson’s husband Colin Jost was also by her side on the red carpet for several pics. Paper Tiger hits U.S. theaters on November 13 and is already getting awards buzz this season. It holds an impressive 85% average critics’ rating based on Rotten Tomatoes based on 60 reviews.
Here’s the film’s logline: “Two brothers pursue the American Dream but get entangled in a dangerous Russian mafia scheme that terrorizes their family.”
Johansson joined her co-stars and director after the NYFF opening screening for a panel onstage, per Variety, fresh off traveling into town from her international Exorcist shoots.
“I’m hallucinating,” she said. “It’s 5 in the morning, which is a great time to be doing an interview on stage.”
Scarlett Johansson Has Starred in Countless Acclaimed Films Already
