# Nerdy Femme Fatales Scarlett Johansson in Wizard Magazine By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-11-15 | Celebs Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerdy-femme-fatale-celeb-covers-scarlett-johansson-for-wizard-magazine References: [fashionindie](http://fashionindie.com/mag-hag-scarjo-for-wizard/) Scarlett Johansson is on the December 2008 issue of Wizard Magazine and she manages to deliver a delightful plug of her upcoming film 'The Spirit.' Wizard Magazine caters to the nerdy set and portrays ScarJo in a contradictory mixture of a dork who is also a very bad girl. The caption on the cover says, "The Spirit Star on Frank Miller, Sam Jackson and Being a Bad Girl." This is a reference to the movie's director Miller, ScarJo's costar Samuel L. Jackson and Johansson's femme fatale, badass character called Silken Floss. All this explains Wizard Magazine's end-of-year cover and why they chose to blend the stereotypical glasses-wearing nerd with the cleavage-sporting, black leather glove-wearing badass girl portrayed by Scarlett Johansson in 'The Spirit.' ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nerdy Femme Fatale Portrayals in Media:** Media outlets are showcasing contradictory concepts of dorkiness and badassery, creating opportunities to disrupt traditional depictions of heroines. - **Blurring Stereotypical Representations:** There's a trend towards blending traditional stereotypes to create more complex character depictions and cater to a wider audience. - **Celebrity Promotion in Niche Publications:** Niche publications are offering opportunities for celebrities to promote their work and appeal to their target audiences. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on this trend of blurring stereotypes by creating characters that cater to a wider audience. - **Publishing:** Publishing houses can explore opportunities in niche markets by catering to specific interests and offering authentic perspectives. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands have the opportunity to tap into this trend and create clothing lines that cater to both nerdy and badass aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero Game Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarlet-witch.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [Comic Franchise-Inspired Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-wolverine.md) - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Limited-Edition Film-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-collection.md) - [Mutant Superhero Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolverine-gin-bottle.md) - [Fantastical Film-Inspired Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-wicked-tumblers.md)
