I think Lucy was after Scarlett Johannsson was already fairly well-established as an actress.

But in general, I do think it's rare for someone to get a lead part with little history unless it's a young character with plans for multiple movies. (E.g. Harry Potter). Because starting w/ someone who's already a star is expensive.

Yeah you could say the $14M she made for Lucy made her fairly well established.

Yeah she was well established but in secondary roles, it was when Black Widow (THE MOVIE) was still an idea only.

Just because you haven't had a leading role doesn't mean you aren't well established

But if you have read and understood the post then you will see I'm talking about her being a lead in the Black Widow movie. So I'm not sure what you don't understand.

What i don't understand is you. She played a significant character is one of the largest cinematic universes ever. If that doesn't make her well established I dont know what does. Your post is stupid

Who said anything about well established? Just you. "well established" is WILDLY DIFFERENT than the LEAD in a full on female led action movie. You are stupid.

This sub is just like that. It's packed with mildly aggressive patronising nit pickers like yourself. It's by far one of the worst subs to post in.
