$872M Sci-Fi Action Hit starring Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is poised to bring her star power to a classic horror icon, set to join Mike Flanagan’s upcoming reboot of Exorcist. But before diving into the abyss of the supernatural, her focus is currently on a different kind of cinematic phenomenon: a massive 2025 sci-fi action film that has recently dominated the streaming landscape.
This highly anticipated project highlights Johansson’s versatility, juxtaposing classic, intense horror with contemporary blockbuster spectacle. However, the buzz surrounding her other recent work is equally compelling, especially considering the staggering success of that action juggernaut.
The sci-fi action film made its debut on Peacock last October. Recognizing the power of streaming distribution, the production team made a strategic move, transitioning the feature to Netflix in February 2026. This pivot immediately opened the film up to a much wider global audience.
That shift proved to be transformative. Suddenly accessible to millions, the film experienced an incredible surge in viewership, quickly establishing itself as one of the year’s biggest streaming hits and securing a spot in the Top 10 most impactful movies of the year so far.
