Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in talks to lead in the new Jurassic World movie. This revelation, shared by The Hollywood Reporter, has sparked a wave of anticipation across the cinematic landscape. Johansson, renowned for her role as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is navigating her career into the prehistoric jungles of Universal Pictures’ next dino-centric venture. With Gareth Edwards at the helm and David Koepp, the mastermind behind the original Jurassic Park script, crafting the narrative, expectations are sky-high for this yet-unnamed project.
