According to The Insneider, Scarlett Johansson has been tapped to lead the cast of Jurassic World 4, taking over from Chris Pratt, who led the previous three films. The report states that the MCU alum has already met with director Gareth Edwards and Jurassic Park producer Frank Marshall. However, there is no word as to whether Johansson accepted Universal Pictures' offer.
While plot details for the upcoming Jurassic World installment are currently under wraps, the film is rumored to be titled Jurassic City. David Koepp, the original screenwriter for Jurassic Park, is penning the script. Steven Spielberg has signed on as an executive producer for Amblin Entertainment along with Marshall. With the new movie serving as a franchise reset, none of the characters from previous installments are expected to return.
The Jurassic Park Franchise Has Had Varied Success
While the Jurassic World movies may not have garnered the same critical acclaim as Spielberg's original 1993 masterpiece, they have been massive commercial successes. Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Jurassic World: Dominion each grossed over a billion dollars at the global box office. However, Dominion is considered a low point in the franchise, with a 29% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also received three Golden Raspberry Award nominations.
The Jurassic Park franchise is inspired by Michael Crichton's 1990 novel of the same name. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the first film was released in 1993 and became a cultural phenomenon. The franchise is primarily centered around genetically engineered dinosaurs being brought back to life through cloning technology, set within various theme parks and islands.
The first installment follows a group of scientists and two children who are invited to preview a new theme park populated by dinosaurs. When the park's security systems fail, the dinosaurs escape, and the humans struggle to survive. After the groundbreaking success of the original Jurassic Park film, the franchise continued with The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and Jurassic Park III (2001).
In 2015, the franchise was revived with Jurassic World from director Colin Trevorrow. Set years after the events of the original trilogy, the story introduces a fully operational dinosaur theme park on Isla Nublar. When a genetically modified dinosaur escapes, the park goes into crisis mode. The movie was followed by two sequels, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World: Dominion (2022).
Jurassic World 4 opens in theaters worldwide on July 2, 2025.
