“I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years. I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the craft service! I’ll do anything for it. The fact that it’s happened in this way at this time just is actually unbelievable,’” Johansson previously said of wanting to be cast in a Jurassic movie.

Directed by Godzilla and Rogue One directed Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World: Rebirth also starred Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein alongside Johansson.

Next up for Johansson is the James Gray directed film PPaper Tiger, which she is set to star in alongside Adam Driver and Milers Teller, with Johnasson and Teller replacing Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong, who had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
