Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in discussions to headline the upcoming installment of Universal’s beloved Jurassic World franchise. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress is poised to join the cast of the highly anticipated film, slated for release on July 2, 2025.

Directed by Gareth Edwards and penned by David Koepp, the new Jurassic World installment looks to reignite the awe and thrill that the franchise is known for and failed to deliver in its most recent offerings. Johansson’s potential involvement marks her return to blockbuster cinema since her final bow as Natasha Romanoff in Marvel’s Black Widow (2021).

Despite her impressive track record in the superhero genre, Johansson has also earned multiple Oscar nominations for her performances in 2019’s Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit.
