The main characters of 「Jurassic World: A New Beginning」, which is the largest blockbuster on the ground with accumulated box office profits of $6 billion (about 8.4 trillion won) in the series and ranked the #1 most anticipated film of this summer by Pandango, North America's largest movie reservation site, will visit Korea on July 1.
This is the first official visit to Korea in the history of the `Jurassic' series, with all the main cast members from director Garrett Edwards to Scarlett Johansson as special operations expert Zora, Jonathan Bailey as paleontologist Dr. Henry, and Rupert Friend as pharmaceutical executive Martin.
First, Scarlett Johansson, who plays Zora, not only proved her acting ability by simultaneously winning Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Academy Awards with her performance of "Marriage Story'Jojo Rabbit," but also perfectly captivated Korea as the MCU's iconic hero Black Widow character. In particular, he delivered the news directly through tvN 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 11th, further raising expectations with a unique move that has not been seen in the history of Korea. In addition, he visited Korea for the second time in eight years after his first visit to Korea in 2017 with the film 『Ghost in the Shell』, which is drawing great attention mainly on social media by announcing his appearance in 『You Quiz on the Block" referring to his relationship with Yoo Jae-suk and Cho Se-ho. Fans' expectations are growing for Tiki-taka, which the three will show.
In addition, coach Garrett Edwards, who has a special relationship with Korea, is also set to reunite with his Korean fans. As he announced that he got the opportunity to direct large-scale projects such as 'Godzilla' and 'Log One: Star Wars Story' with the release of his first feature debut through the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, he will convey his special affection for Korean fans through this visit. On top of that, Jonathan Bailey, who gained worldwide popularity for his passionate performances through the `Bridgerton' series and the `Wicked" series, and Rupert Friend, who is recognized for his wide acting spectrum by working with world-renowned master Wes Anderson in the `Asteroid City" and `Penikian Scheme, are also drawing attention by confirming his first visit to Korea.
They will meet with local media and audiences through various events on July 1, and the detailed schedule of 'Jurassic World: New Start' will be released sequentially later.
The Jurassic World: A New Beginning' is a painting of the world, five years after dinosaurs, the top predators on Earth outside the Jurassic World, came into the human world. Scarlett Johansson, Mahashala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia Rulpo, and director Garrett Edwards of 'Creator'Rogue One: Star Wars Story' took the megaphone. It will be released on July 2.
