I don't understand why Johansson's movies would make it obvious you're not supposed to mess with her.

What are the movies supposed to show? Is it a joke, or does the author not understand the difference between the actor and the role? Johansson is not actually Black Widow. Or what am I not understanding?

Of course the other points stand on their own, like successfully suing Disney. Just nitpicking.

The impression I get, broadly, is that she's smart enough to consistently star in well regarded movies, know her worth, power, and how to control a narrative. Disney, a notoriously hard-assed company, for all intents and purposes caved to her in a few months.

Similar things could be said about Taylor Swift.

The point being made, as I understand it, is that Scarlett Johansson is as formidable in real life as the characters she plays are in her films.
