Back in the States following a European promotional tour, Scarlett Johansson was spotted arriving at NBC studios in New York City for an appearance on the “Today Show” to promote her new film “The Spirit”.

Accompanied by co-star Samuel L Jackson, the 24-year-old blonde beauty looked happy to be back in her hometown, smiling as she mingled with fans and set workers.

Meanwhile, Scarlett and Samuel’s other co-star, Eva Mendes, was spotted out by her lonesome this morning - pulling off press duties at the CBS Early Show.

Directed by Frank Miller, “The Spirit” is about “a rookie cop named Denny Colt who returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces in Central City.” The film makes its way to theaters on Christmas Day (December 25).
