NEW DELHI, JUNE 25 :  Scarlett Johansson has officially announced her involvement in the upcoming Jurassic World film, confirming longstanding rumours about her participation.

The actress, widely recognised for her role as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expressed her excitement and longstanding desire to be part of the franchise.

According to a gamespot.com report, the new film, currently untitled, will be directed by Gareth Edwards, known for his work on “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”.
