Scarlett Johansson Catches a Cab

Scarlett Johansson dashes across the street to hail a cab on Tuesday (May 29) in New York City.

The 27-year-old actress’s smash hit, The Avengers, has earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide since its May 4 release!

Scarlett dyed her hair red to play the Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff), something she enjoyed off set as well.

“It’s nice because it allows me to go a bit under the radar – people don’t expect me to have that color of hair. I’m always happy when I do it because it’s the first step of the process of finding the character again,” she told Reuters.

“To me more than anything, the hair color represents a huge piece of work that we dive head first into,” Scarlett added. “And I’m really happy when I can wash it out because then I’m like, ‘Yes, It’s finished, we actually did it!’ Out it goes and you know you’ve accomplished something.”
