Now Johansson, who was on SNL last week, and Cruz are in talks to work with Michael Fassbender and Owen Wilson on a Netflix movie from director Nancy Meyers.
The big budget movie is currently titled Paris Paramount.
It tells the story of an A-list filmmaking duo who reluctantly reunite on set after falling in and out of love.
Meyers is directing her own script and is also serving as a producer on the film.

This is his first time behind the camera since the 2015 film The Intern.
That drama starred Robert DeNiro as an intern and Anne Hathaway as his type-A boss.
Sources say the actor deals for Paris Paramount have yet to be finalized as the project’s budget is still being worked out.
Netflix has not commented on the news.
Meanwhile, Scarlett recently discussed how she thinks she was “groomed” to become an “explosive actor.”
The 38-year-old star was afraid of being typecast during her youth, but now she has managed to take control of her career.
Scarlett reflected, “I’ve become kind of ingénue, and I think that’s part of young girls like that being really objectified, and that’s just a given.”

“I did Lost in Translation and Girl With the Pearl Earring and, at that point, I was 18, 19 years old, and I was coming into my own womanhood and learning my own attractiveness and sexuality.”
The Black Widow actress believes she “got stuck” on a very specific trajectory during her younger years.
She said: ‘I think it was down that trajectory that I was thrown down, I really got stuck.
“I was being groomed, in a way, to be what you call a bombshell type of actor.”
