What Role Does Scarlett Johansson Play In Jurassic World Rebirth? Director Gareth Edwards Shares New Details

As a dedicated follower and ardent admirer of the Jurassic World franchise for over 15 years, I can hardly contain my excitement for Scarlett Johansson’s portrayal of Zora Bennett in the upcoming film, Jurassic World Rebirth. The fact that she has longed to be a part of this thrilling universe is a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for the series.


In Jurassic World: Rebirth, Scarlett Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a character dealing with internal struggles following her departure from military service. Prior to this role, Bennett was a proficient undercover agent and a veteran solider. Over the past 15 years, Johansson, an ardent Jurassic World enthusiast, has expressed her desire to join the series. Director Gareth Edwards has hinted at intriguing aspects of her character in the film set for release in July 2025.

As a follower, I’d like to share some insights about the character Zora, who boasts a military background and is currently seeking a meaningful role within Empire. Post-retirement, Zora elected to embark on a perilous mission that now leaves her grappling with self-doubt, scrutinizing her moral compass. In this gripping narrative, Mahershala Ali portrays the commanding role of Duncan Kincaid, while Jonathan Bailey brings Dr. Henry Loomis, a dedicated paleontologist, to life.

Edwards explained that since leaving the military, she’s been seeking purpose in life. An opportunity arises, which would ensure she’d never need to work again. However, during this experience, she begins to ponder about the moral implications and boundaries of their actions.

The movie unfolds five years following Jurassic World Dominion, with dinosaurs confined to specific areas within the equatorial region. Character Zora is tasked with acquiring genetic samples from three colossal dinosaurs for research aimed at groundbreaking medical advancements. However, her mission takes an unexpected turn when a distressed family seeks rescue on this isolated island, revealing a more perilous threat lurking there instead.

Fans were treated to the initial scene of Zora on an island, armed with a tranquilizer gun and poised for action, as indicated in the official summary. The giant creatures inhabiting that lush ecosystem are said to possess the secret to a drug that could offer extraordinary lifesaving advantages to humanity. This is where Zora’s adventure begins.

For Johansson, who took to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to gush about landing the role. It marked a big day for her when the casting was finalized, as she was extremely elated by the news. A long-time follower of the franchise, Scarlett Johansson said she felt an urge to be part of the Jurassic world for more than 15 years. Jurassic World Rebirth is set to be released on July 2, 2025.
