Set five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Rebirth explores a world where dinosaurs struggle to survive in inhospitable climates, existing only in isolated, equatorial regions. Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), a covert operations expert, leads a team to secure DNA from three colossal creatures—land, sea, and air—for a life-saving pharmaceutical breakthrough. Their mission intersects with a shipwrecked family, led by Reuben Delgado (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), stranding them on an island with a sinister secret tied to Jurassic Park’s original research lab. The film, written by David Koepp, revives a cut scene from Michael Crichton’s novel, blending horror and action.
Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla), Rebirth features a star-studded cast of newcomers: Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, Jonathan Bailey as palaeontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, Mahershala Ali as team leader Duncan Kincaid, Rupert Friend as pharma executive Martin Krebs, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Reuben Delgado. Supporting roles include Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein. Steven Spielberg executive produces, with Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley as producers. Alexandre Desplat’s score, recorded with a 105-piece orchestra, incorporates John Williams’ iconic themes.

The first trailer, released on February 5, 2025, showcases intense action, with Zora’s team facing mutated dinosaurs, including the six-limbed Distortus rex and the aquatic Mosasaurus. A 60-second Super Bowl LIX spot on February 9 and a second trailer on May 20 amplified hype, highlighting a T-Rex river raft scene and pterodactyl attacks. Critics, such as Ben Travis of Empire, praised its “visually stunning” nod to the 1993 film Jurassic Park. The film’s PG-13 rating reflects intense violence and gore.
Jurassic World Rebirth, with its fresh cast and return to the franchise’s horror roots, aims to revive the series after Dominion’s mixed reception. Edwards’ direction and Koepp’s script, inspired by Crichton’s novel, promise a thrilling blend of nostalgia and innovation.
