Scarlett Johansson has been cast to star in Taika Waititi’s upcoming World War II film Jojo Rabbit.
He and Johansson may be taking big risks with the subject matter, but the talent involved in Jojo Rabbit gives the project great potential.
As Variety also noted, Waititi turned down other film offers in favor of the opportunity to make Jojo Rabbit (apparently, he even would’ve turned down Star Wars).
Variety first reported on Wednesday that Johansson is in talks to be cast as Jojo Rabbit’s female lead.
