The Jurassic World Rebirth trailer unveils a bold new direction for the franchise, merging medical intrigue with genetically enhanced dinosaurs. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One) and written by David Koepp (Jurassic Park), the film features Scarlett Johansson leading a mission to secure life-saving genetic material from mutated prehistoric creatures.
Plot: A Medical Mission Gone Wrong
Set five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Earth’s unstable ecology has confined dinosaurs to isolated tropical zones. Three colossal species—terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial—hold genetic secrets to a groundbreaking medical treatment. Johansson’s Zora Bennett, a covert operative, spearheads a mission to extract these samples, clashing with a stranded family (led by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and confronting mutated predators. The story ties back to an abandoned Jurassic Park research lab, revealing long-buried scientific experiments.
Cast and Characters
- Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett: A battle-hardened mercenary balancing duty and survival.
- Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis: A paleontologist obsessed with unlocking evolutionary secrets.
- Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid: Zora’s tactical partner and tech specialist.
- Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs: A morally ambiguous pharmaceutical executive.

Creative Team and Tone
Edwards’ visual approach emphasizes atmospheric dread and large-scale action, drawing inspiration from Alien and The Creator. Practical effects revive classic dinosaurs like the T. rex, while new hybrids feature grotesque, biomechanical designs. Koepp adapts an unused river sequence from Michael Crichton’s original novel, blending suspense with nods to Jurassic Park’s legacy.
Release Details
Jurassic World Rebirth debuts in theaters on July 2, 2025, with a Peacock streaming release to follow. Backed by a $265 million budget and executive producer Steven Spielberg, the film aims to redefine the franchise through genetic horror and survival storytelling.
