It’s taken a long time for Marvel Studios to make a movie where Scarlett Johansson gets top billing, and only slightly longer for us to do a quiz round about her varied filmography. Along with the ScarJo questions, there’s a mix of teasers on subjects ranging from horror screenplays to romantic comedy ensembles, with 30 questions to answer in total.

Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 31 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Let’s party! (Insert awkward “I don’t see how that’s a party” reaction here.)
