Scarlett Johansson instantly drawn to 'Jurassic Rebirth' script

Following the huge success of the Jurassic World trilogy, the franchise returns with a new chapter titled Jurassic World: Rebirth. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film introduces Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, a covert operations expert leading a daring mission.

Set after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the story takes place in a world where few dinosaurs remain, hidden in remote equatorial zones. When it’s discovered that these ancient creatures could unlock breakthroughs in human medicine, a high-stakes extraction mission begins—led by Johansson’s character.

Scarlett Johansson revealed that she was instantly captivated by the script. It felt like a true Jurassic movie—full of thrills, imagination, and heart. I read it with a big smile, she shared. To deepen her role, she collaborated closely with screenwriter David Koepp. Zora is a complex character—tough on the outside, but carrying deep personal pain. We worked to show a woman at a crossroads, finally asking what she wants for herself after years of sacrifice.

The film promises a mix of action, emotion, and classic Jurassic wonder. Johansson is joined by a talented ensemble cast, including Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein.

Jurassic World: Rebirth is set to hit theatres worldwide on July 4, 2025, continuing the thrilling legacy of the franchise.
