Scarlett Johansson , the ‘Black Widow’ star, recently opened up about playing the fierce character, Zora, in the upcoming film ‘ Jurassic World Rebirth .’ The versatile actress revealed that she did not have any second thoughts about the script.
Why did Scarlett Johansson choose Zora?
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, the 40-year-old actress stated that the one thing that sparkled the most was the interesting script by David Koepp . “The thing that struck me about David Koepp’s script was how complex and compelling Zora was,” she said, before adding, “She’s not just along for the ride — she’s actively choosing this mission, and that makes all the difference.”
Scarlett has been a Hollywood actress who isn’t afraid to experiment with the scripts and the characters, may it be ‘Lost in Translation’ or ‘Lucy.’ For years, she has always kept the actress within her alive with emotions through intricacies, the complex subtexts, and, more importantly, the layers that the script offers.
In the upcoming film, Zora (played by Scarlett Johansson) has played an active role throughout the course of the film. The involvement gives her more space and agency than a typical action character in the blockbuster films.
The difference between Zora and others is...
What makes Zora different from other regular characters is that she is the driving force behind the story; she is not just reacting to what’s happening in the plot, and she certainly isn’t just a survivor. Directed by Gareth Edwards , the film is expected to bring forward the never-before-seen plot twists while remaining true to the franchise’s roots.
‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ would be hitting the silver screen on July 2, 2025. The cast of the film includes Scarlett Johansson as Zora Benett, Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis, Luna Blaise as Teresa Delgado, Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid, Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs, David Iacono as Xavier Dobbs, Ed Skrein as Atwater, and many more.
