Scarlett Johansson Has Wanted To Do A Jurassic Park Movie For ‘Like 15 Years’, Shares Her Sweet Reaction To Being On Set

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the digital worlds of Jurassic Park and Marvel Cinematic Universe, I can hardly contain my excitement for Scarlett Johansson joining the cast of Jurassic World 4. With her unparalleled acting skills and deep-rooted love for the franchise, she’s bound to breathe new life into the series.


If you’re not keeping a firm eye on the 2025 movie schedule, let me clue you in on one of the most thrilling developments: the next chapter in the Jurassic Park Universe! And here’s the real kicker—Scarlett Johansson, who you might know from her impressive tenure in the MCU, is joining the cast of Jurassic World 4. What makes this even more special? The Ghost World alum has been a massive fan of the franchise for years, revealing she’s been angling for a role in these films for “15 years.” Her genuine excitement and joy about being on set are absolutely heartwarming to witness.

More recently, the seasoned actress Scarlett Johansson made an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” to publicize her highly praised movie titled “Fly Me To The Moon”. During this chat, the presenter mentioned her upcoming part in a well-loved dinosaur series. At this point, Johansson couldn’t hide her excitement and revealed her fondness for the franchise. With a wide grin on her face, she enthusiastically disclosed:

For nearly fifteen years now, I’ve been striving tirelessly to break into a franchise, even the slightest opportunity. Honestly, if given a chance today, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.

As Johansson went on, she shared her heartfelt affection for the series, recalling how she spent her childhood years watching the initial Jurassic Park movies and reminiscing about a special present she once received – you’ve probably figured it out by now; it was related to JP. The actress from Lost in Translation elaborated on this.

You once asked me about the best gift I’ve ever received, and this is my last appearance on the show. Before being cast in Jurassic Park, I said the greatest gift I got was a tent. When I was around 7 years old, I wished for a Jurassic Park-themed tent. I set it up in the bedroom I shared with my sister, and I slept on the floor inside it for an entire year.

Indeed, it’s truly touching to hear such a wonderful tale. As it turns out, Johansson disclosed that her previous guesting on The Tonight Show played a significant part in securing her role within the movie series. She further explained:

It was amazing. I vividly remember imagining the velociraptors, thinking about them sneaking around at night, and somehow that brought me comfort. And now, here I am, actually in the next Jurassic movie! It’s surreal—I guess I manifested it!

Regardless of all the chatter and guesswork, the upcoming “Jurassic World” movie remains unnamed at this point. Known for his impressive work on films like “Monsters”, “Rogue One”, and “Godzilla”, Gareth Edwards is directing it. The film, boasting an impressive ensemble of talent such as Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, is scheduled for release in theaters on July 2, 2025.

Counting down the days till I dive back into the thrilling world of one of my favorite sci-fi movie series, there’s no denying that it’s about to get even more electrifying now that Scarlett Johansson is joining the crew! Her enthusiasm alone promises an exhilarating journey ahead.
