Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in talks to star in the new Jurassic World movie.
The two-time Oscar nominee could follow in her Marvel co-star Chris Pratt’s lead role in the latest installment of the Dinosaur series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Pratt helmed 2015’s Jurassic World and its two sequels, the last of which saw the return of original stars Sam Neill and Laura Dern. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide.
The new film will be directed by Gareth Edwards, whose latest film, The Creator, starring John David Washington, was nominated for two Academy Awards. Edwards also directed 2014’s Godzilla and 2016’s Rogue One. The script was written by David Koepp, who wrote the original 1993 Jurassic Park screenplay.
The reboot, which focuses on all-new characters, was originally set to be directed by Bullet Train director David Leitch, but he left the project in February.
The film is already set for release in summer 2025, so production is aiming to start soon. Other films scheduled to be released this season include “Superman: Legacy” and “Mission: Impossible 8.”
Johansson recently starred in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and North Star, a comedy directed by Kristin Scott Thomas that premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival. No US distributor has yet been found.
The actor will next co-star with Channing Tatum in an untitled romantic comedy set during the 1960s space race. She will also direct a television series remake of the legal thriller Just Cause, which will be written by recent Oscar winner Cord Jefferson following his success with American Fiction.
All of the Jurassic movies have collectively grossed more than $6 billion at the worldwide box office.
