Scarlett Johansson gets offer for lead role in ‘Jurassic World 4′
With two trilogies under its belt, the Jurassic franchise has seen varying degrees of success.
The latest trilogy, Jurassic World, featuring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, was economically successful, but critics felt it fell short of the original film’s charm.
The upcoming film, Jurassic City, is directed by Gareth Edwards and scripted by David Koepp (who wrote the first two Jurassic Park films).
According to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, Scarlett Johansson has been offered the lead role in Jurassic City aka Jurassic World 4.
He was told the actress met with Edwards and producer Frank Marshall at least once.
Johansson is currently working on her directorial debut Eleanor the Invisible, and will have wrapped by the time Jurassic City begins production.
Details about the plot of Jurassic City are currently under wraps, but with Gareth Edwards at the helm, David Koepp behind the script, and the possible inclusion of Scarlett Johansson, the project seems promising.
The production is scheduled to commence at the end of July, and the film is slated for a summer 2025 release.
