Scarlett Johansson is set to receive the Generation Award at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

The network announced Tuesday that the Black Widow actress, 36, will be the latest inductee into the list of past honorees that includes other A-list actors like Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler, Reese Witherspoon, Jim Carrey, Will Smith and even Johansson’s Marvel costars Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Pratt.

“The highly coveted ‘Generation Award’ celebrates beloved actors whose diverse contributions to both film and television have turned them into household names,” MTV shared in a release.

They also shouted out Johansson for her six past nominations, including best kiss, best female performance and breakthrough female.

She took home her first golden-popcorn statue — for best fight — in 2013, for her role as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in The Avengers.

Johansson made her big-screen debut as a child actress in 1994’s North, playing the would-be adoptive sister to Elijah Wood’s titular character.

She would go on to star in a variety of roles throughout her teenage years like The Horse Whisperer and Ghost World, making what many consider her big break in 2003’s Lost in Translation alongside Bill Murray.

Johansson is a two-time Oscar nominee, having been nominated twice in 2020 for her roles in both Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story. She was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood in both 2018 and 2019, earning $40.5 million and $56 million those years, respectively.
