- MUMBAI — After the phenomenal success of the Jurassic World trilogy, the
franchise is all set for another addition - "Jurassic World Rebirth".
-
- Scarlett Johansson has been roped in to essay the role of
Zora Bennett, a covert operation expert in the Gareth Edwards' directorial.
-
- A sequel to "Jurassic World Dominion", the
drama is set in a world with only a few remaining dinosaurs living in remote
equatorial zones. After learning that these creatures hold the key to
revolutionizing human medicine, a high-stakes extraction is launched under the
guidance of Johansson.
-
- Johansson shared that she was immediately inspired by the
script. "It felt like a Jurassic film to the core, a survival thriller
that moves with gusto and has high personal stakes. I read the whole thing with
a big smile on my face because it was so imaginative, fun, and funny,” she
revealed.

- In order to further develop her character, Johansson even
forged an association with screenwriter David Koepp. The 'Lucy' actress said,
“Zora is a gun for hire with a rich past and private pain, so it was important
to me that you could believe she had lived that life."
-
- The stunner further added, “I thought we could convey all
that by creating a character who was at a turning point in her life, where
she’s ready to make a pivot. And there are personal stakes for her, too. That
was something David and I talked about a lot. What is missing from Zora’s life?
She’s made so many sacrifices for others; what is she ready to do for
herself?”The legacy continues. Experience Jurassic World Rebirth on the big
screen on 4th July 2025!"

- Aside from Johansson, the ensemble cast of the drama
includes Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise,
David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein.
