The character Black Widow may have been actress Scarlett Johansson’s ticket to success, but she doesn’t necessarily need the Marvel Studios stamp to prove her worth. Aside from the superhero franchise, Johansson has a plethora of blockbuster movies to her name including Jojo Rabbit and Asteroid City.

Her latest venture is Fly Me to the Moon with Channing Tatum as her co-star. This is the first time the duo is coming together for a movie, and that too with such a poignant theme. Directed by Greg Berlanti, the story dives into the history of Apollo 11’s Moon landing with a romantic twist.
