Scarlett Johansson Goes up Against Angelina Jolie

Scarlett JohanssonSEXY Scarlett Johansson is set to go up against Angelina Jolie!

Sources say the Iron Man star — who’s married to Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds — will battle the Salt actress to play Marilyn Monroe in a movie about the late screen siren.

“Angelina has a chance but the favorite right now is Scarlett Johansson,” said one Hollywood insider.

“She’s younger and has the right look as well as the talent to pull off what is a hugely challenging role.”

Reports earlier this week claimed Jolie would play Monroe in a big screen adaptation of Andrew O’Hagan‘s The Life And Opinions Of Maf The Dog, And Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe.

It was also claimed that George Clooney had been lined up to play Monroe’s close friend Frank Sinatra.

Scarlett recently revealed she likes to shop when she doesn’t have any acting work.

“I don’t have the busiest agenda,” she said.

“I’m just an actress for hire. So I have months and months where I just sit around and wait for jobs. There’s always time for shopping”.

    Scarlett is young, fresh, gorgeous, classy, and has sexy curvy body. She is also not an attention seeking slut/whore like Angelina. She has a hunk husband and kept their marriage sacred and private. Unlike Angelina, she was not into yapping things that they are a wonderful couple because it shows that they are. Its natural that she is the favorite to play Monroe. GO GO GO Scarlett baby!

      Dianne, you keep saying that Angelina is an attention seeker but you are always waiting for news about her, and putting your very unclassy comments. Something’s fishy.

      • Dianne

        There is always something fishy about Angelina Jolie. She is always seeking attention all over the place. Very Very unclassy. Who is the one keep claiming lies left and right? its Angelina. Who keep claiming that she is so happy that she has a big family or she has Brad? Angelina. Who keeps claiming about her private moments with Brad just so she can convince people that there is nothing wrong in their relationship? Angelina. Look at Scarlett! Scarlett does not need to yap the things that actually happening to her, her blessed MARRIAGE with her young hunk husband, her being humble and keeping their lives private. She is not attention seeking and don’t have to yap lies all the time, therefore there is nothing fishy about her nor her behaviors. With Angelina, its a different story! lol

    I think that Scarlett is way more similar to Monroe than Angelina. She’s young, voluptuous, beautiful and her expressions are more alike. However, I don’t think Angelina is that bad (whore and all this stuff). But, opinions are a personal thing.

  • Movie Buff

    I believe Angelina has already said during an interview in London that she doesn’t think Marilyn is a good fit for her. I like Angelina, but good luck Scarlett! I’ll watch the movie, provided it was made well.

  • Maria

    Angelina is not fit to be Monroe because she cannot act being CLASSY or NAIVE or INNOCENT. She never knew or know how to act out that “words” in the movies because she does not know those all her life. Sorry for her fans!

  • Beth

    Wow people are insanely stupid. Angelina has already said several times she’s not doing this movie or have any interest in it.

  • Aaron

    Scarlett for the win. Jolie can play her grandmother.

  • Cindy

    Dear Beth, its Angiehaters that are insanely stupid, right down to replying to their own posts and signing themselves as males because they think Angie malehaters have more impact. Sometime its not worth replying to their idiotic blogs caused it’s not like they understand what we write.

  • jilly

    Cindy, who is “WE”? Bunch of deluded angieHo lovers who don’t see any fault in any wrong thing that she does. No, we don’t sign as males, that could be the psycho act of angieHo fans. You people should wake up and see this bitch for what she really is, a nasty, lying, crazy woman who is going down fast.

  • ShayShay

    Wow! I thought this was about who should play Marilyn Monroe! This is turning out to be the “Dirty Dozens”! Back to subject, I think that Scarlett really is more similar in physical features and sophistication to Marilyn and would be more believable in her portrayal. Angelina already played a character in a blonde wig (“Life or Something Like It”) and she really didn’t look right at all (as a blond I mean). She would be more suited for Cleopatra…that dark, mysterious, seductive look…she’s good at that! Or better yet, she should just stick to action films…

  • sue

    And may Johanssen–an REAL actress who is so beautiful and never has to steal anybodys man WIN!

    If Jolie said she doesn’t think this part is a good fit for her. It could be that she doesn’t think she’s going to get the part, and if she doesn’t, she wants people to think it’s because she didn’t want it. I think she would love to be chosen to play the part of one of Hollywoods sexiest icons.Really” who wouldn’t?

    • ShayShay

      I agree with you Paggie…it sounds like Angie is trying to beat them to the punch because she knows she won’t REALLY get the part. I just hope Scarlett gets it and plays Marilyn to the hilt!!! Go Scarlett, Go Scarlett!!! :)

  • steff

    Angelina is much like Marilyn monroe because they both famous and noisy in their own time of being famous

  • anon

  • Mike

    All you people talking about how Angelina has no class. Well your not showing much class yourselves with all the nasty things your saying about her. Maybe you should clean up your own side of the street before you start judging others.
