Scarlett Johansson will make her Broadway debut in December in a revival of Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge, reports WENN.

The Lost in Translation actress will star opposite Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber in the drama set in 1950s America. Bridge centres on a Brooklyn dockyard worker (Schreiber) obsessed with his 17-year-old niece, to be played by Johansson.

Previews begin December 28 at the Cort Theater. The play officially opens on January 24 and will run for 14 weeks. Tickets will go on sale online and by phone on November 21.

Johansson will next appear on the big screen as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, opening July 2010 in US cinemas.
