“I’m such an enormous fan of the franchise and huge nerd for it,” Johansson toldComicBook.com.
“I’m just like, I can’t even, I’m pinching myself.
I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over ten years.
I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes!
I can get eaten by whatever!
I’ll do the craft service!’
I’ll do anything for it.
The fact that it’s happened in this way at this time just is actually unbelievable.”
Johansson was particularly enthusiastic about the script and Koepp’s contributions to the new sequel.
“The script is so incredible,” related Johansson.
“David Koepp wrote it.
He returned after like 30 years to write the script.
He’s so passionate about it, which is so awesome.”
The film will be released on July 2, 2025.
