“Jurassic World” is coming with the fourth installment of the franchise, this time headlined by Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey. And, after months of speculation, Johansson has finally addressed the rumors, raving about her casting in the film.
“I am an enormous ‘Jurassic Park’ fan,” Johansson told ComicBook.com. “It is one of the first movies I remember seeing in theaters. I remember it so vividly. It was life-changing and mind blowing. I cannot express how excited I am,” she added.

The movie, which is set to be a standalone sequel to the trilogy, will be directed by Gareth Edwards, known from “Rogue One” and “Godzilla.” While the last film was a total success at the box office, it was met with negative reviews. However, according to Johansson, the script for the new one is “incredible.”
Johansson praises the script from David Koepp
The star also told the outlet that the script “is so incredible.” The film was written by David Koepp, who also worked on Steven Spielberg’s original “Jurassic Park” (1993), as well as in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” (1997). About the return of the screenwriter, Johansson said that he “returned after 30 years to write it and he’s so passionate about it.”
Bailey, who recently also confirmed his casting during a Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show appearance, also described the film as “mind-blowing” and “brilliant.” The film will “reboot” the Jurassic World franchise, which was headlined by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, which grossed more than $1 billion each at the worldwide box office.

“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 expressed.
