While Scarlett Johansson has been occupied as Black Widow for quite some time, she's also expanded her career outside of the MCU. Some of these films went on to achieve critical success, and others remained cult favorites. In either case, Johansson's performances are typically stellar.

Some of Johansson's must-see films include 2013's "Under the Skin," 2003's "Lost in Translation," and 2019's "Marriage Story." Per Vulture, in all of these roles, Johansson challenges herself to act in ways she's never had to before. "I thought it would be incredibly challenging to play a character that's free of judgment, that has no relationship to any emotion I could relate to," the actor said of taking on "Under the Skin."

Where "Under the Skin" lets Johansson play with emotions in really interesting ways, "Lost in Translation" allows her to see the world in new lights. This film sees her character, Charlotte, watching her husband's career flourish while she's stuck with him in Japan, a country with which she's not as familiar, with her own dreams seemingly sidelined. This role is more understated than her "Under the Skin" role but it proves that she can explore the subtlety of acting in really brilliant ways.

Then, there's Netflix's "Marriage Story," which sees Johansson's character really struggle with identity and marriage in a unique way. The characters are so fleshed out that "there are no bad guys in this movie," according to Vulture, and it's this complexity of character and story that make it a must-see.
