Mahershala Mali in talks to join new 'Jurassic World' film

Actor Mahershala Mali will be the latest star to join Jurassic World 4.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the confirmed cast includes Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Scarlett Johansson, the "Black Widow". Plot details for Jurassic World 4 have not been officially released, but it has been reported that the film will open the "New Jurassic Era" with a "brand new story". Johansson will take over the lead role from fellow Marvel star Chris Pratt, the "Star-Lord". The script for the reboot will be written by David Koepp, the original screenwriter of Jurassic Park. David Leitch, the director of Bullet Train, was originally appointed to direct, but the report said that "negotiations failed".

Mahershala Marri has many indissoluble ties with Marvel. He played the villain "Viper" in the Netflix version of "Luke Cage" and voiced Miles' uncle Aaron Davis, also known as the Prowler, in the animated films "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and "Into the Universe". He will continue to voice the character in the third movie. Of course, he has also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor twice for his roles in "Moonlight Boy" and "Green Book".

Jurassic World 4 is expected to be released in theaters on July 2, 2025.
