Scarlett Johansson Joins Jurassic World Rebirth as Former Soldier on a High-Stakes Mission


Scarlett Johansson will take on the role of Zora Bennett in Jurassic World Rebirth, a film set for release on July 2, 2025. Zora is a skilled former soldier and covert operative who, after leaving the military, is searching for a new purpose in life. Johansson, a longtime fan of the Jurassic World series, has expressed her excitement about joining the franchise, saying it’s something she’s wanted for over 15 years.

Director Gareth Edwards shared insights into Zora's character, describing her as someone who embarks on a high-risk mission to secure genetic materials from three massive dinosaurs. However, as she begins to question the ethical implications of her mission, Zora’s journey takes a darker turn. The film picks up five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, with dinosaurs now confined to select areas in the equatorial region. Zora’s mission, intended to gather valuable research material, is interrupted when she and her team are forced to rescue a family on a remote island. There, they face an even greater danger.

Mahershala Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s team leader, while Jonathan Bailey portrays Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist. Fans got a sneak peek at Johansson’s character in a recently released image, where she is seen aiming a tranquilizer gun in the midst of the island's dangers.

Johansson, who appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, shared how thrilled she was when she received the role. For her, joining Jurassic World Rebirth marked a significant milestone in her career, combining her passion for the franchise with the opportunity to bring a complex new character to life.
