Sam Neill Reacts to Scarlett Johansson's 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Casting

Jurassic Park veteran Sam Neill has shared his belated reaction to Scarlett Johansson taking over the hugely popular dino franchise. Neill starred as Dr. Alan Grant in the original 1993 blockbuster directed by Steven Spielberg and later returned for Jurassic Park III. He also reprised his fan-favorite role in the 2022 legacy sequel Jurassic World Dominion, but Rebirth marked a whole new era for the beloved film series – one headlined by Johansson. Neill admitted that he was “fond” of the actress and that her casting felt like a “family affair” because the two previously starred together as a father-daughter duo back in the ’90s.
