A new Jurassic World movie, officially titled Jurassic World Rebirth, is heading to theaters this year – and it looks like there's no end in sight for the world's most popular dinosaur saga. Here is everything you need to know about the movie's release date, plot, cast, trailer, and more.
The new pic takes place five years after 2022's Jurassic World Dominion, which was a nostalgic send-off for the characters of Steven Spielberg's original movie and also marked the end of Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard's character arcs. Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend lead the new cast. After seeing the first-look images, first trailer, and discovering some key details about the plot, it has become one of the most exciting upcoming movies of the year.
Below, we break down the Jurassic World Rebirth release date and what to expect from the story and the characters. Scroll down to get up to speed on what's sure to be one of 2025's biggest blockbusters. We'll keep you updated here!
Jurassic World Rebirth release date
The Jurassic World Rebirth release date is July 2, 2025. That means it's only a few more months to wait to see the new dinosaur movie – and it's just three years since Jurassic World Dominion, too.
Jurassic World Rebirth trailer
The first trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth was released ahead of Super Bowl Sunday (rather than during the game like we'd initially anticipated). In the trailer, which you can watch above, we're introduced to Zora (Scarlett Johansson) who embarks on a dangerous mission alongside paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and ship captain Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali). The trio encounters a group of lethal dinosaurs that were deemed "too dangerous for the original park."
Jurassic World Rebirth plot
Not much is known about the plot of Jurassic World Rebirth at the moment. According to Entertainment Weekly, though, the story picks up five years after Dominion and sees the dinosaurs dying out again as the planet is inhospitable to them, aside from those living in a few tropical areas. Three of these surviving dinosaurs have genetic material that could be used by a pharmaceutical company in the development of a life-saving drug. Zora (Scarlett Johansson) is sent to extract this material, accompanied by ship captain Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), and paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey).
To complicate things, the Delgado family, a bunch of civilians, will also be involved after their boat capsizes and puts out a mayday call picked up by Zora's team.
"Obviously, it all goes wrong and becomes a situation that you enjoy watching as a Jurassic fan," director Gareth Edwards told the publication. “Once you're on the adventure, the film doesn't let go until the end credits. The enjoyment of it is in the moment-to-moment chase, escape, scare, horror, curve balls in the whole plotting of the set pieces and the dinosaur moments."
Writer David Koepp revealed in an interview in January 2025 they're bringing back a scene from the original novel in the new movie. The moment was originally planned for 1993's Jurassic Park, but it was cut because they ran out of room in the classic film.
"I reread the two novels to get myself back in that mode though. We did take some things from them. There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for. We were like, 'Hey, we get to use that now.' But just to get back in that head space 30 years later – is it still fun? And the answer is yes, it still really is. Dinosaurs are still fun," he explained.
