By Francesca Halliwell and Danielle Broadway LONDON (Reuters) -Scarlett Johansson's role in 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' made her recall her earliest memories of the dinosaur film franchise.
'For the next three decades, I was like, I would have done anything to be in a Jurassic movie in any capacity,' she added.
The franchise, created by Michael Crichton, has spawned several films, merchandising deals and video games.
'Jurassic World: Rebirth,' directed by Gareth Edwards, follows a team of specialists that embarks on an expedition to a forbidden island, home to a research facility for the original 'Jurassic Park'.
The specialists, played by Johansson and 'Bridgerton' actor Jonathan Bailey, must obtain DNA samples from three dinosaurs to achieve a life-saving medical breakthrough.
The Universal Pictures film arrives in theaters on July 2.
For Rupert Friend, this installment in the franchise is exhilarating.
'I love adventure. I love being taken on a ride where you don't know what's going to happen. I love the unknown. I love risk,' he said.
For well-known science fiction director, Edwards, the pressure for the film to succeed did not hit until he arrived at the premiere.
'It's all front and centre here. It feels a bit weird to be honest. I can't quite get my head around it,' the 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' director added.
