• 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!"
