Scarlett Johansson, a devoted admirer of Jurassic Park, recounted her personal pitch to the franchise’s director, Steven Spielberg. This occurred when a new installment was announced. “I had a meeting with him and I don’t actually know if he knew the depths of my Jurassic fandom.”
“But I’m hoping that no one explained it to him too thoroughly because it maybe would’ve come off as being a little too much,” the Marvel star disclosed to THR. She added, “Although knowing Steven now, he was excited when I shared with how much it would mean to me to play any part in Jurassic. I could’ve played it cooler and maybe I wouldn’t have gotten it.”
Scarlett is set to portray Zora Bennett, joining a cast that includes Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein. Gareth Edwards helmed the direction, with David Koepp penning the script. Jurassic World Rebirth is slated for release on July 2nd.
