No one wants to pit two powerful women against each other, but that's kind of what will inevitably happen soon between these two A-listers.

Leading ladies Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence will be thrown into an involuntary comparison battle in the near future, as the two stars are each slated to portray the late Zelda Fitzgerald in dueling biopics.

The Jazz Age icon and wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald died nearly 70 years ago in a fire at a North Carolina hospital, but her life has been at the forefront of Hollywood's inspiration as of late.

Just as Amazon rolls out its own series, Z: The Beginning of Everything, with Christina Ricciplaying the "first American flapper," films starring Johansson and Lawrence, respectively, are said to be on the fast-track to hitting the big screen.
