Scarlett Johansson Seeks Credit Removal From Thunderbolts

Scarlett Johansson has confirmed that she requested to have her credit removed from the new Marvel movie, Thunderbolts. In a discussion with co-star David Harbour, who reprises his role from Black Widow, Johansson expressed her pride in the project's team but clarified that she was not involved in the film's production. Despite this, she remains open to directing within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the future. Borrowing a light-hearted tone, Harbour jokingly suggested her disapproval of the film led to her request, which she quickly dismissed. Notably, Johansson is no longer listed as an executive producer on the film, which has recently rebranded to the New Avengers as it sets the stage for future MCU expansions into Phase 6.
