I cannot express how excited I am,” she said. Exuding true Jurassic fan vibes, Johansson called herself a “huge nerd,” further revealing she had been trying for over 10 years to get into the franchise. “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. I can’t believe it,” she continued.
