Jonathan Bailey has heaped praise on his Jurassic World Reborn co-star Scarlet Johansson, commending her for bringing incredible energy and positivity both on and off the set. The actors play key roles in the film, which follows their characters on a daring mission to harvest dinosaur DNA for groundbreaking medical research.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, the Wicked star described Johansson as “super funny, intelligent, kind,” and noted that her leadership set the tone for the entire cast and crew.
“[Johansson’s] super funny, intelligent, kind. She led the film with such incredible energy, and that’s on and off camera,” Bailey said.
Scarlet Johansson: The Heart of the Cast
Johansson’s influence extended beyond her performance. Co-star Gracia-Rulfo also praised Johansson, calling her the group’s leader and organizer for dinners and off-day excursions during filming.
Variety shared another charming anecdote from Gracia-Rulfo, who said, “Johansson is unaware of who she is. I tell her, ‘You know you’re Scarlett Johansson?’ She goes in the world like, ‘La, la, la,’ and that’s so beautiful.”
Johansson’s Dream Role Comes True
Johansson herself has spoken about the special meaning this film holds for her. As a lifelong fan of the Jurassic Parkfranchise, starring in Jurassic World Reborn was a dream come true.
“I think as a huge fan, I’m just excited for ‘Jurassic’ nerds to see it because I think they’ll like it a lot,” Johansson shared in a recent interview.
She also expressed hope that new generations of fans, especially young children, will experience the same awe and wonder she felt watching the original Jurassic Park as a kid.
“And I hope that there are other 10-year-olds that have the same experience that I did when I saw the first ‘Jurassic’ in theaters, where they can just be completely carried away for two hours. It makes you dream,” she said.
