Scarlett Johansson remains steadfast in her principles. She made it clear that she will never compromise them, even if influential film studios request it.
In an interview with InStyle, Johansson shared that Universal Pictures, the studio behind the Jurassic Park/World franchise, recently approached her with a request to join Instagram for promoting their upcoming blockbuster. Despite the mounting pressure to embrace social media, Johansson firmly prioritizes her privacy and remains committed to staying authentic to herself, refusing to compromise her values for the sake of promotion.
"I mean, even today, I got an email from Universal [Pictures], and they're like, 'Hey, would you consider joining Instagram in tandem with the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth? I get a lot of pressure to join social media. [It does make me think]...is there a way where I could do this and stay true to who I am? It didn't feel like I could. The work that I put out there is all based in truth. That's the key ingredient. So if I was a person who really enjoyed social media, then I could totally get on the bandwagon. But I'm not. And I think the film will do fine."
Jurassic World: Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson and other notable actors, is set to release worldwide on July 2, 2025.
