Avengers' Scarlett Johansson: Massage parlour madame, drug-dealing lesbian in Rub & Tug

The Hollywood star already plays a wild woman in the Marvel universe.

Natasha Romanov looks like a pussycat compared to this latest role and the fact that it is based on an actual real person just makes the whole crazy story even more outrageous.

Gill lavished diamond rings and fur coats on her female favourites, ran prostitute and drugs rings and even faced down the mafia.

The rather cheekily-titled movie name Rub and Tug refers to her string of massage parlours in Pittsburgh.

Johansson is fresh from her turn in the devastating Avengers Infinity War and was one of the last men or women left standing after The Snap.

Her fans will be snapping to attention at the news she will be teaming up again with Ghost In The Shell director Rupert Sanders for the new movie.

Not only will Rub & Tug reveal the true story of a woman who took on men at their own game and women, the gender-bending crime queen even convinced many she was a man…

Deadline broke the news and said: “Jean Marie Gill was a larger-than-life character who took on the mob and became the crime kingpin of 1970s Pittsburgh through her empire of illicit massage parlors and an anabolic steroids ring that helped fuel the Pittsburgh Steelers’ NFL dynasty, all the while cross-dressing and leaning on her allies in the gay community to help grow her empire.

“However, it is Jean’s fiery romance with her girlfriend Cynthia that truly defines her and forms the emotional core of the story.”

No news yet about who will play Cynthia.

Run & Tug will start production early next years, a few months before Avengers 4 hits screen and finally reveals who will live and die or be reborn as teh entire MCU heads into Phase 4.

Johansson herself should be safe, since a spin-off Black Widow movie is already in the works.
