Jurassic World Rebirth: Scarlett Johansson’s Zora (& the Other New Human Characters) Explained



Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson)

Marshall described Bennett as “a special operative. She was in the armed forces for the entirety of her career. She probably worked for a private contractor for some time, and now she’s working for herself.” Johansson had quite a bit of input on the shaping of Bennett as well, saying “I just wanted to understand what the stakes were for her, and that she wasn’t just driven by money or power. You wanted it to feel personal for her. You have to love the characters and you want to root for them. The movie can’t just stand on the dinosaurs alone.” She makes a good point. Typically, mercenary characters are nothing more than cannon fodder in creature features. Johansson promises Bennett is more than that, “She’s someone who’s dedicated herself to saving other people, and I think she’s at a professional crossroads. I think she’s burnt out.”



Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey)

While there won’t be any legacy characters popping up in Rebirth, Jonathan Bailey, who plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, hinted that his character has a history with Sam Neill’s Dr. Alan Grant. Bailey felt pressure to make his character work, saying, “I’ve always wanted to make Dr. Alan Grant proud. You’ll have to wait and see to see what sort of link there is between them.”

Bailey went on about Dr. Loomis, adding he “reinforces big, cerebral, and emotional arguments about the natural world and how we as humans live our lives.” But, as the teaser trailer makes clear, he’s the least fortified to survive on a dangerous, mutated dinosaur-laden island. But his presence is a necessary one, as he’s best suited to procure the dino DNA.



Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali)

Rebirth is going to carry over what has worked best about many of Steven Spielberg’s best classic adventures, from Raiders of the Lost Ark to Jaws. When it comes to that latter point, Jonathan Bailey has equated his character to Richard Dreyfuss’ Hooper, Johansson’s character to Roy Scheider’s Martin Brody, and Mahershali Ali’s Duncan Kincaid to Robert Shaw’s shark hunter turned shark chum Quint.

Ali appreciated the comparison, but didn’t see it that way during the shoot. His description of Bennett’s team leader? “Kincaid is a guy who at this point in his life has chosen to live off the grid. He’s in Suriname [a country in northern South America], but he’s somebody who has been a good friend of Zora’s and is always willing to help out when she needs something handled covertly. He’s a good-spirited guy, but he’s definitely been through some tragedy in his life. All in all, he’s learned to live with his wounds, and he’s making the best of the life that he has.”
