The new film is a standalone sequel to 2022’s 'Jurassic World Dominion' and also stars Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein.

Speaking with E! News at the premiere, Johansson shared her thoughts on whether she would let her 10-year-old daughter Rose watch the PG-13 movie.

“I’ve been talking to some other ‘Jurassic’ fans, and they say this is the scariest one, but I would let my daughter see it,” the New York Post reported.

Johansson shares Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac.

“It’s still appropriate for the family,” she said. “You just gotta watch it through the crack in your fingers.”
