Scarlett Johansson is one of the few MCU actors who have managed to maintain a splendid career after being part of such a highly beloved franchise. One would think that after her successful run in the comic book universe, the actress would want to avoid joining any more franchises and instead focus on showcasing her talents in independent features.
Yet, this assumption is far from the truth. As the dust settles on her MCU departure, the actress has taken a bold move that could prove to be a misstep in her otherwise successful career.
Defying fan expectations, Johansson is helming not one, but two acclaimed franchises, i.e.TransformersandJurassic World. What could possibly be a huge gamble for her career, the actress is one of the leads in the upcomingJurassic Worldreboot, apart from having a voiceover role in theTransformersfranchise.

As per the popular scooper @DanielRPK, there were a lot of big names and Hollywood A-listers who were offered the movie, yet they all passed on. While it is grand that the former Marvel star would be joining such a revered franchise, her decision seems concerning since theJurassic World/ Parkfranchise is also one that fans don’t want back.
Jurassic WorldCould Be a Huge Misstep for Scarlett Johansson
Ever since Scarlett Johansson exited the MCU, fans have been eagerly awaiting her next move. While the actress joiningtheTransformersfranchise alongwithChris Hemsworthwas a move much appreciated by fans, her joining theJurassic Worldfranchise spells a possible doom for her career.

While being part of a franchise as huge is considered a welcoming and successful move by some, being part of a franchise thatno one really wants to see anymoreis a gamble. Such a gamble becomes even more risky when her upcomingJurassic Worldmovie is a reboot of the originalJurassic Parkand its subsequent rebooted series,Jurassic Worldhelmed by Chris Pratt.
Despite her tenure in the MCU cemented her as a top-tier star, not many fans have been enthusiastic to see the revival of the dinosaur franchise. Despite being written by the original screenwriter ofJurassic Parkand containing an incredible ensemble cast (via THR), fans are adamant not to watch the movie unless it is truly a masterpiece.
With the margin for error too small and fan expectations sky-high, Johansson’s joining the polarizing reboot, right after MCU, might not only alienate her existing fanbase but might also fail to capture the attention of new audiences. A significant gamble at such a crucial juncture in her career, only time will tell whether the actress will be able to maintain her career after her exit from the MCU and how joining theJurassic Worldfranchise would fare for her.
