First Look Photos from Jurassic World Rebirth are now available – Cast, Plot, Release Date
The future of the Jurassic Park franchise revolves around one big trip down memory lane, as new plot details for the upcoming film, officially titled Jurassic World Rebirth, tease a perilous journey headlined by new series stars Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey.
On X, the official Jurassic World account shared the teaser. The logo is reminiscent of the franchise’s films that would come before the new sequel, featuring the classic font along with the familiar T-Rex skeleton, but comes with a new subtitle. Additionally, two first-look photos have also been shared.
Is Jurassic World Rebirth a sequel?
Yes, it is a sequel: Jurassic World Rebirth is set five years after the events of Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World Dominion, but it’s completely unchanged from what came before. This will allow Rebirth plenty of room to reestablish its world-building within this still-nascent world order.
The previous instalment in the series hit theatres in June 2022 and was led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Jurassic Park returnees Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neill. The film franchise launched in 1993 with Steven Spielberg’s smash hit Jurassic Park, based on the 1990 sci-fi novel of the same name by author Michael Crichton.

What will Jurassic World Rebirth be about?
A synopsis for the sequel has also been revealed, which reads: “Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those that remain live in isolated equatorial environments with climates similar to those they once thrived in. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous, life-saving benefits to humanity.”
Confirming that Scarlett Johansson leads the cast, the official synopsis further details her character as a “covert ops expert, Zora Bennett, hired to lead a team of experts on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material of the world’s three largest dinosaurs. When Zora’s operation crosses paths with a civilian family whose boating expedition was wrecked by marauding aquatic dinosaurs, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face to face with a sinister and shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.”
Jurassic World: Rebirth Cast
The film is directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and written by David Koepp, who co-wrote the original Jurassic Park film with Michael Crichton.
Alongside Johansson, Jurassic World Rebirth stars Mahershala Ali, the star of the upcoming MCU film Blade, as Duncan Kincaid, the leader of Zora’s most trusted team. Other cast members include Jonathan Bailey (Wicked) as palaeontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, Rupert Friend (Obi-Wan Kenobi) as Big Pharma rep Martin Krebs, and Manuel Garcia Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer) as Reuben Delgado, the father of a shipwrecked family, David Lacono as Delgado’s son, Luna Blaise as Delgado’s oldest daughter, Audrina Miranda as Delgado’s youngest daughter, Philippine Velge, Ed Skrein, and Bechir Sylvain.
Is Chris Pratt in Jurassic World Rebirth?
Chris Pratt played the role of Owen Grady, a US Navy veteran and animal behaviour scientist who researches Velociraptors in Jurassic World (2015), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), and Jurassic World Dominion (2022) and could make a surprise entrance in the film as the sequels are linked to each other so the chances of Chris Pratt returning as Owen Grady are high.
In May, the actor spoke about his future in the Jurassic World franchise – Pratt starred alongside Johansson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and spoke about Johansson’s announcement about the Jurassic World franchise while also teasing his future in the series.
“You know what, she hasn’t called, she hasn’t called, but, you know, ScarJo, I’m just a phone call away,” Pratt told Comic Book Resources. “I think [Scarlett’s husband] Colin [Jost] has my number. Feel free to reach out to me. Yeah, that’s exciting news. It’s really cool.
“Hey, never say never,” he said of his potential return. “Maybe. Maybe I’ll be back. Maybe I won’t. You’ll have to tune in to find out. I know I’ll be first in line whether I’m in it or not.”
Jurassic World Rebirth Release Date
The film was reported to be in development in January 2024 and had been in the works for some time. However, fans are excited about the movie which is scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures on 2nd July 2025.
