It’s been clear for months that joining the Jurassic World franchise has long been a priority for Scarlett Johansson. The actress has spoken about basically begging Steven Spielberg for a role, and now that press is really getting underway for the 2025 movie release, she’s appears to be really gung-ho about supporting the flick. At CinemaCon 2025 (which CinemaBlend live blogged), she appeared onstage next to Director Gareth Edwards and co-star Mahershala Ali, and she definitely dressed the part in khakis and heels. (An homage to Bryce Dallas Howard?) But my favorite part was how fun the team seemed to be having, with Gareth Edwards even roasting the actress over how pricy she is to sign.
If you haven’t caught a look at Johansson going full Jurassic World in khakis yet her look was monochromatic and cool. It felt to me like a nod to something one might wear when they go out in the jungle plus a nod to Bryce Dallas Howard’s monochromatic look in the last World trilogy. Part explorer, part posh, but certainly stunning.
We could talk all day about whether or not it’s appropriate to be running in heels while attempting to evade a dinosaur attack –Bryce Dallas Howard has certainly been asked a lot – but I think heels are fair game on the CinemaCon stage regardless of whether they were an intentional nod to the franchise or not. Meanwhile, the team behind Rebirth really did seem to be having the most fun working together.
