Scarlett Johansson landed Jurassic World Rebirth's lead role after chasing an opportunity for many years and being a "really crazy" Jurassic Park fan over the decades
Briefly

The new trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth suggests a return to the franchise's adventurous roots as it introduces new elements and characters. Scarlett Johansson, eager to join the series, reveals her lifelong passion for Jurassic Park, sharing stories of her childhood obsession and how she navigated her career, particularly her Marvel commitments, to finally bring her dream to fruition. The involvement of original franchise producer Steven Spielberg adds to the anticipation surrounding this anticipated entry into the Jurassic lore.
I was really crazy about the [original] film, and I slept in a 'Jurassic Park' pup tent in my bedroom I shared with my sister for a year... Anytime the trades would report a new 'Jurassic' movie, I would forward to my agents.
That didn't stop her from orbiting around the productions whenever she could though; while shooting Black Widow in 2020, 'Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard were next door on a soundstage filming Jurassic World Dominion,' so she fought hard to get a peek at what they were up to.
She met with Steven Spielberg and told him she was a 'superfan' while remaining tight-lipped about the whole pup tent deal and other 'rabid fan' stories, because she wanted to avoid looking 'desperate.'
