Scarlett Johansson teases ‘a little bit sparkly' upcoming role

Scarlett Johansson just revealed she wants her Jurassic World Rebirth character to be “a little bit sparkly.”

The 40-year-old actress is one of the lead cast members of the upcoming dinosaur franchise and was eager for her covert operations expert Zora Bennett to possess the sense of "warmth."

Scarlett told Empire magazine, "I've met with many members of the armed forces and worked with the USO (United Services Organizations), and the people I've met who are at the highest level of security clearance all really share a certain kind of sense of humour, a warmth. So I wanted Zora to have that."

The Black Widow star also explained that her alter ego is a world-weary before the events of Jurassic World Rebirth.

"I like to think of her as an operator. She's ex-military, who works for independent contractors. She's hired to do extractions.” Scarlett noted.

She also noted, "She's (Zora) kind of burnt out when we find her. So when this opportunity comes along, it's very hard to pass up, because it means a chance for her to have a shot at another kind of life."

Additionally, the actress also confessed about being a fan of the sci-fi series and a meeting with the franchise’s director, Steven Spielberg, convinced her that she was the right person to play a role in the forthcoming installment.

"It was a very long, wonderful meeting that we had to begrudgingly leave because we both have families. He really confirmed my huge fandom for the franchise and the opportunity (this film provided) for newness,” Scarlett Johansson further recalled of the meeting.
