Hollywood heavyweight Scarlett Johansson is making headlines, not for her acting, but for her unwavering stance against social media and public fan photos. As Universal Pictures gears up for the highly anticipated "Jurassic World Rebirth," Johansson shares she resisted the studio's push for her to join Instagram for promotional purposes.
"If I was a person who really enjoyed social media, then I could totally get on the bandwagon," Johansson stated in a recent interview. "But I'm not, and I think the film will do fine."
This isn't the first time Johansson has expressed her disdain for social media. She maintains a private life, focusing on her work and personal time. This extends to her interactions with fans in public. Johannson shares that she’s thankful for her fans, but if she’s not working she wants to enjoy her personal time.
Jurassic World Rebirth, set to release on July 2, 2025, takes place five years after "Jurassic World Dominion." It follows an expedition team, led by Johansson's character Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations expert, as they venture into isolated equatorial regions to extract DNA from three colossal prehistoric creatures for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough.
"Jurassic World Rebirth" boasts a star-studded cast, including:
-Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett
-Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid
-Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis-
-Emmy nominee Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs
-Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Reuben Delgado
-Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda as Reuben's family.
-Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein as crew members.
With a legacy of blockbuster success, the "Jurassic World" series has consistently delivered at the box office. Each of the three films in the previous trilogy surpassed $1 billion globally. While some fans might be disappointed by Johansson's decision to forgo social media and public photos, her commitment to her craft and respect for her personal boundaries are clear. As "Jurassic World Rebirth" approaches its release, anticipation continues to build, proving that even without Instagram, Johansson's star power remains undiminished.
