Please update the headshot of Scarlett. The picture is 11 YEARS old. Talvisotilas (talk) 22:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

 Not done for now: Does Misplaced Pages have a more recent image that you think should be used? Meters (talk) 22:35, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Can we please change the lead image now? One from this decade, even? She looks completely different from 23 than 34. And fortunately there are many to choose from. Reasonable images include

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5

and before anyone gets officious about “ownership”, it’s just an opinion. Trillfendi (talk) 01:36, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

#1 is the current image from 2008.Kolya Butternut (talk) 19:15, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Survey

• Support 5 (or another cropped version of the original), followed by 4. I feel the the existing image isn't what people think of anymore because she looks so young there. 2 looks too sultry with her mouth open and 3 has a microphone blocking her.   But I support 3 too if folks don't mind the microphone. @Trillfendi: do you mind my changes?   Kolya Butternut (talk) 00:26, 5 May 2019 (UTC)Kolya Butternut (talk) 20:26, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

• Support 3 - 1 is nearly a decade old, 2 is fine, 3 is fine, 4 and 5 are both blurry and imho both are awful,

I would consider 2 and 3 to be the best images however 3 is more recent hence that one being my preference. –Davey2010 19:45, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

• Support 3 - A nice professionalism to it. Rusted AutoParts 20:14, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
• I wouldn't state that "she looks completely different from 23 than 34." If it was the case that she did, we wouldn't recognize her. As seen at Talk:Scarlett Johansson/Archive 6#Request for comment on lead image, there were valid reasons given for going with the current image. And I don't see any ownership by asking us to look at this matter again. Anyway, I'd support 3 even though her face is not fully facing the camera (as in staring into the camera). If Options 4 and 5 weren't of poor quality, I'd support either of them as well. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:50, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

I just had to state that because on other articles there is mêlée going on practically every 2 weeks about lead images and if someone changes it and points out why the other image is bad they’re accused of “ownership”. Trillfendi (talk) 00:56, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

I think that's an incorrect (pedantic) inference of what Trillfendi meant by "completely different". In my opinion, using the words casually, I think in the current image she looks like a girl and in all of the other images she looks like a woman. I think that's more representative of who she is and what readers expect to see. Kolya Butternut (talk) 04:27, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

And I think you're unnecessarily making something out of nothing. Spillover from Talk:Woman perhaps? I know what Trillfendi meant. But if you look at the previous image discussion, you can see that I don't think that Johansson looks drastically different from then to now. She does not look so different now that she would not be recognizable to readers coming to this article and seeing the current lead image. If I thought so, I would not have supported the image.

• Comment Just so everyone knows, 2 3 and 4 where the original choices. But if anyone wants to include more there’s a wealth of them in the Commons. Trillfendi (talk) 00:56, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
