CANNES, France — Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut, “Eleanor the Great,” stars June Squibb as a 94-year-old woman who, out of grief and loneliness, does a terrible thing.

Scarlett Johansson said in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival that she would be open to potentially directing a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie when asked if she would consider directing a major action movie or Marvel film.

The star came across the script for “Eleanor the Great,” already starring June Squibb, and instantly realized, “I know how to make it.” Now she wants to direct again.
