Scarlett Johansson yells at paparazzi on set of 'Paper Tiger'

Scarlett Johansson’s message was not lost in translation.

The actress, 40, was filming her upcoming crime drama “Paper Tiger” in New York City on Thursday when she stopped to chastise a photographer.

“Move out of the way!” Johansson screamed while in the middle of shooting. “I’m working.”

The “Black Widow” star then shooed the person away with one hand.

Johansson asked the individual to “move out of the way” once again before yelling, “out of the f–king way!”

“I’m working. You’re working. Let me do my job,” Johansson continued. “Be respectful.”

The Oscar-nominated winner sported a blazer, a blouse, and trousers for the scene in Queens. Johansson accessorized with glasses and wore a short, curly ’80s-era wig.

James Gray is directing the project, which also stars Adam Driver and Miles Teller. The movie follows two brothers who are in pursuit of the American Dream. Things don’t go as planned, leaving them terrorized by the Russian mafia.

In May, Deadline reported that Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong were originally set to star in the film, but both dropped out due to other commitments.

Filming commenced in New Jersey in June.

Johansson came aboard on the heels of promoting “Jurassic World Rebirth,” which hit theaters July 2.

Last month, the “Fly Me to the Moon” actress also made headlines for sharing a quick peck on the lips with her co-star Jonathan Bailey on multiple occasions.

First, the pair locked lips at their film’s London premiere on June 17. Johansson and Bailey, 37, went on to share another kiss at the “Jurassic World Rebirth” premiere in New York City later that month.

Johansson’s husband, Colin Jost, was in attendance at the time. 

“I believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you can’t kiss your friends… life’s too short not to,” Bailey, who is openly gay, told Entertainment Tonight at the NYC premiere.

After the carpet, while on an episode of “Today,” host Craig Melvin told Johansson that he wanted to ask her about “this kissing thing that you and Jonathan have been doing all over the world.” 

The anchor, 46, added that Bailey was “so attractive,” to which Johansson replied, “Yeah, you said it!” 

“Is that why we keep planting lips on him?” Melvin inquired.

“He’s a lovable guy, what can I say?” the actress responded. “I don’t know. We’re just friendly people.”

When the journalist asked if Johansson is surprised by the public attention the friends’ kisses have garnered, she told him, “Nothing surprises me, you know what I mean?” 

“Nothing surprises me these days,” quipped the Tony winner. “But, yeah, I’ve got a lot of love to give, what can I say?”

Jost, meanwhile, isn’t fazed by their friendship.

“I guess in ‘Jurassic Park’ terms, the attack always comes from the Raptor you never thought,” the “Saturday Night Live” star, 43, teased to ET on Thursday. “Of all the threats out there, I wasn’t thinking it was Jonathan.”

“People really blow it out of proportion,” Jost added. “When someone kisses their friend hello. That’s pretty nuts. Jonathan is an out gay man. It didn’t seem like the biggest threat.”

Which only leaves one thing for the comedian and actor to do.

“Jonathan and I were like, ‘I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens? Close the loop,’” Jost joked.

The couple have been married since 2020 and are parents to son Cosmo, 3. The actress is also mom to daughter Rose, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.

Jost has always been a staunch supporter of his wife, writing about his other half in his 2020 memoir “A Very Punchable Face.”

“I’ve met someone I love and who I feel more comfortable with than I ever have before,” he gushed. “I feel more confident committing to what I’m working on and standing by whatever I create, regardless of whether people like it or not.”

In 2023, Johansson reaffirmed their partnership while on the “Goop” podcast.

“I didn’t know what I wanted or needed from somebody else. I think identifying those things was a game-changer for me,” she told host Gwyneth Paltrow.

Johansson added that their union has been so successful because they “move around the world in the same way.”

“I never realized, ‘Oh, it’s really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That’s a fundamental characteristic that has to be there,’” she expressed. “It worked with Colin and I because I was finally able to step back and respect myself enough to know what those [fundamental wants and needs] were.”
