scarlett johansson's surprise welcome from jeff goldblum

Jeff Goldblum recently welcomed Scarlett Johansson to the "Jurassic World" family with a surprise message during her appearance on The Today Show. Goldblum, who played Dr. Ian Malcolm in the original "Jurassic Park" film and its sequels, offered Johansson some playful advice as she steps into her new role within the franchise. Johansson, a long-time fan of the "Jurassic Park" series, has been eager to join the franchise for over a decade. The upcoming Jurassic World installment is set for release on July 2, 2025, and features a cast that includes Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and possibly Mahershala Ali. With principal photography currently taking place in Thailand under director Gareth Edwards, the film is generating excitement among fans, particularly because of its script by original "Jurassic Park" writer David Koepp.

The new Jurassic World movie is being directed by Gareth Edwards.

The "Jurassic World" franchise has been a significant part of the blockbuster landscape since its revival. Originating from Michael Crichton's novels and first brought to the big screen by Steven Spielberg in 1993, the series has evolved to include new scientific advancements in the portrayal of dinosaurs and expanded storylines. With its blend of thriller, adventure, and stunning visual effects, the series continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
