Scarlett Johansson's upcoming film features her adopting a British accent, and I'm all hyped up about it! But the question remains, how did she snag the role?
Scarlett Johansson, the highest-grossing actor of all time, is set to challenge herself in a new role in the upcoming comedy-drama 'My Mother's Wedding'. Directed by Kristin Scott Thomas in her directorial debut, the film follows three adult sisters reuniting at their childhood home for their mother's third wedding.
The story, set in the English countryside, is an emotionally charged weekend where the family confronts past grief, long-buried tensions, and complex family dynamics. As the daughters reflect on their varied life experiences and careers, the film offers a mix of humor and emotional insight as the family navigates the wedding chaos and relationships.
Kristin Scott Thomas stars as Diana, the mother, while Johansson plays Katherine, joined by Sienna Miller as Victoria and Emily Beecham as Georgina. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2023, and is scheduled for a limited theatrical release in the United States on August 8, 2025.
Johansson connected with the story of 'My Mother's Wedding' as she is a mother herself. The role required her to take on an English accent, adding another layer of challenge to the project. Interestingly, Kristin Scott Thomas made a personal phone call to Johansson to offer her the role.
'My Mother's Wedding' is a small film, and Johansson likely wouldn't expect a large payday for it. However, the script, which is described as deeply intimate and unique, presents a fresh challenge for the versatile actress.
In addition to 'My Mother's Wedding', Johansson can also be seen in the number one box office hit 'Jurassic World: Rebirth'. For more information on upcoming movies, consult the 2025 movie release schedule.
