Notably, Scarlett Johansson, a MCU veteran, was also being considered for the role until only one week prior to the news. Johansson may possibly be on the list of actors being considered for the part after saying goodbye to the superhero community as Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow.
The actress further stated in 2023 that she is still working on a Marvel Studios project, that is "non-Black Widow." Though specifics of the project remain undisclosed, rumours indicate that the mystery endeavour may be a Disney+ series, with its basis likely being the Blonde Phantom.
