Revival of the renowned dinosaur franchise that sprang to life back in 1993 is being facilitated by Jurassic World Rebirth. Jurassic World Rebirth, which Universal Pictures is promoting as the start of a “new era,” represents a dramatic departure from the series’ previous finale of the Chris Pratt-led trilogy in 2022.

With new characters and a completely new plot, this seventh entry in the Jurassic Park series, which is being directed by Gareth Edwards and written by original Jurassic Park author David Koepp, looks to revitalise the franchise.

Six months after the movie’s approval, Universal has released the first official image of Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali in Jurassic World Rebirth. Fans are excited by the first-look photos, which offer a sneak peek at the new characters that will lead the way in this exciting new chapter of prehistoric adventure.

Release Date & Where to Watch

On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Jurassic World Rebirth will be released in theatres all around the world. Touted as one of the biggest summer blockbusters, it opens on the US Fourth of July weekend, guaranteeing a strong box office pull.

Plot

In Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is set five years after Jurassic World Dominion, the Earth’s environment has essentially turned into a hostile location for dinosaurs. The few surviving species are restricted to solitary equatorial zones that resemble the climates in which they were previously abundant. Three enormous dinosaur species call these areas home, and their DNA may hold the secret to a remarkable human life-saving medication.

Starring as Zora Bennett, a covert operations specialist in charge of a top-secret expedition to retrieve this crucial genetic material, is Scarlett Johansson. Alongside her are Jonathan Bailey as palaeontologist Dr. Henry Loomis and Mahershala Ali as her dependable companion, Duncan Kincaid. Martin Krebs, a representative of the pharmaceutical company sponsoring the expedition, is portrayed by Rupert Friend.

A civilian family is left on a distant island after their boat was overturned by aquatic dinosaurs, and Zora’s squad comes across them while on their mission. Together, they unearth a startling and ominous discovery that has been kept a secret from the public for many years.

David Koepp, who previously contributed to The Lost World: Jurassic Park and the original Jurassic Park, is back in the Jurassic World franchise with Jurassic World: Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards. Building on the heritage of its predecessors and promising a new era for the Jurassic story, the film features a new cast and delivers an exciting and enigmatic journey.

How will Jurassic World: Rebirth Expand on Dominion?

Five years after Dominion, in Jurassic World: Rebirth, humans and dinosaurs coexist peacefully but tensely. As a boating expedition goes poorly due to hostile aquatic dinosaurs, Johansson’s Zora finds a family stranded, underscoring the precarious state of peace in this new global order. Rebirth, which is set in a world that is still developing from Dominion, provides an opportunity to reconstruct the brand in the wake of Dominion’s unfavourable reviews. It seeks to revitalise the series with new world-building and a more compelling story.

Will Chris Pratt be in Jurassic World: Rebirth?

The cast of this brand-new dinosaur film includes Johansson, Ali, and Bailey. In contrast, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard played the key roles in the previous three films.

Where is Jurassic World Rebirth Filmed?
