AceShowbiz - Scarlett Johansson has been open about her longstanding desire to join the "Jurassic" series, and she's so excited to finally star "Jurassic World Rebirth". At this year's CinemaCon, director Gareth Edwards shed light on why it took so long for the franchise to respond to her appeal.
As Johansson joked about reaching out "pretty much whenever another Jurassic Park sequel would come along" only to think "it wasn't meant to be," the audience and her co-stars had a good laugh when Edwards interjected, "She's too expensive."
The revealing moment came when Johansson explained how she finally sealed the deal. On this occasion, she bypassed conventional routes by reaching out directly to heavyweight producer Steven Spielberg. "I'd be fine even getting 'eaten in the first five minutes,' " she said, to which the director quipped, "Spoiler alert."
"Jurassic World Rebirth", scheduled to premiere on July 2, 2025, promises another thrilling ride. Joining Johansson are talented actors such as Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, and David Iacano.
