With the possibility of Scarlett Johansson playing the lead role in Jurassic World 4, the film series has a chance to continue a surprising cross-franchise trend.
The film, written by David Koepp and directed by Gareth Edwards, is set to be released on July 2, 2025. Johansson’s potential involvement would mark the first time a female lead appears in the franchise’s history. The trend of MCU actors leading the Jurassic films highlights an unexpected connection. While it’s not confirmed yet, Johansson’s role in Jurassic World 4 could solidify this trend and open the door for other MCU stars to join the cast.
