The upcoming film, out next month, marks a new chapter in the "Jurassic World" trilogy. According to a press release from Universal Pictures, the new film follows an extraction team as they "race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind." "Five years after the events of 'Jurassic World Dominion,' the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs," the press release continues. "Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived." It adds, "The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind." Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations expert assigned to lead a team on a "top-secret mission to secure the genetic material."

"I remember the first scene that we shot -- of course they throw us right into the most complicated set," Johansson said. "We shot on this very remote island in Thailand where we had to take a boat to another boat… and when I walked down, there was a mudslide and a six-hour monsoon and all this craziness." She continued, "By the time we got to the set, I walk down the little stairs, and we come out on this isolated beach, and it's that moment that you have where you're like, the John Williams music is going in your head. I'm looking across at the other cast members. We're all wearing our, you know, tactical suits and everything, and I was just like, 'This is really happening.'" "It was just… tears in my eyes," she added. "I couldn't believe it."
