Jurassic World: Scarlett Johansson starring in the next film scheduled for 2025?

Would you be curious to see Scarlett Johansson face a T-Rex? You might get the chance, since the actress is currently in negotiations with Universal to headline the new film Jurassic Worldwhich could arrive in theaters in July 2025.

A regular at blockbusters

Johansson should have no trouble carrying the weight of a franchise as heavy as Jurassic Park given its blockbuster experience. After all, she played Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow in nine films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including a feature film centered on this character released in 2021.

But the actress has more than one string to her bow, and her filmography proves that she is as comfortable in superhero roles as in making people cry. And for good reason: his performances in the films Marriage Story And Jojo Rabbit earned him two Oscar nominations. She is therefore perfectly capable of responding to dinosaurs.

Gareth Edwards confirmed behind the camera

If Universal wants to keep its schedule and launch the film on July 2, 2025 in the United States, the studio must boost the project and advance its pre-production.

On the staging side, after weeks of rumors, we now know that the director of Rogue One And The CreatorGareth Edwards, will indeed be at the helm of this film which will tell a whole new story and launch a “new Jurassic era”.

The feature film, which does not yet have an official title, is written by David Koepp (already on the screenplay for Jurassic Park and its sequel The lost World) and counts Steven Spielberg among its executive producers (via Amblin Entertainment), as well as Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley (for Kennedy-Marshall).

It remains to be seen whether, more than 30 years after its first steps in cinema, the franchise Jurassic Park/World will manage to renew itself once again with this film, or if it would be time to let the dinosaurs disappear for good. Note, the last three films Jurassic World all exceeded a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, cementing the saga as one of the most popular in cinema.

While waiting to be clear, the other films Jurassic Park And Jurassic World can be seen or rewatched on the Netflix and Amazon Prime Video streaming platforms.
