The Jurassic World Rebirth is the upcoming seventh instalment in the Jurassic Park Film Series. It is being directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, veteran screenwriter of Jurassic Park and it's sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

It was released on July 2nd, 2025.

Synopsis

A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.

Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind.

Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.

Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).

Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.

Plot

Seventeen years ago...


226 Miles East of French Guiana


An InGen R&D Helicopter roars over tropical jungle, disturbing the peaceful wildlife below. Following geothermal piping to the coast, it approaches InGen's Research & Development facility and lands on it's reservoir helipad.

Inside the Sequencing & Development lab, technicians monitor the facilities and experiments including; a two-headed Triceratops, a Mutadon and a Quetzalcoatlus. Williams approaches the massive airlock at the far end of the lab, where Desanto is waiting for him inside. He discards a Snickers' wrapper on the floor in order to operate the keypad for the Environmental Containment Door. Following a practiced routine, they turn duplicate keys in unison to open the door and Williams enters the chamber. As the door slides closed, the Snickers' wrapper is sucked into the chamber behind him though neither he nor Desanto notice. Waiting for the interior door, the pair discuss the experiments being run on the Distortus Rex with Desanto joking that some days she wants to kill it. They enter the next chamber but as the inner door slides closed behind them the Snickers' wrapper is sucked into an intake fan and shorts it out. Back in the lab a security monitor reports the containment failure. A system error disables security across the complex and triggers a reboot. An automated voice announces the containment failure, up on the observation platform a technician witnesses security personnel opening fire on an escaped Distortus via video feed and activates a facility lockdown. The lab staff begin scrambling to exits as doors begin sealing, Desanto and other personnel flee from airlock, but as Desanto attends to a fallen coworker she realises Williams is still inside as the door seals shut. She rushes to the keypad, inserting her key and preparing to turn it in synchronous with Williams but freezes as she witnesses the D-Rex approaching. Williams begs her to open the door for him but she can only tearfully apologise as D-Rex snatches him up and carries him off into the chamber.


Present day...


It's been thirty-two years since dinosaurs returned.


But the modern climate and disease have taken their toll,
and public interest has waned.


Most surviving species now only thrive
in a tropical band around the equator.


Human travel there is expressly forbidden.


In New York City construction workers paint over a mural advertising a former dinosaur zoo. On the street below a traffic jam has formed behind an ailing Apatosaurus. Martin Krebs is sat in this traffic, listening to the radio when he is surprised by Zora Benett who he was on his way to meet.

Post Production

Music

Recording of the score for the film took place in the spring of 2025 at Abbey Road Studios in London with a hand-picked group of 105 musicians. While recording the music for the sequence in which the character of Dr. Henry Loomis touches a dinosaur for the first time, Desplat’s orchestra was joined by Bailey himself, who in real life plays clarinet. “Jonathan plays the clarinet very well,” Desplat says. “We invited him to sit with our great clarinet section, near the principal chair, and even offered him the chance to play a couple of solos. He did great, never mind the pressure. It was fun and I think all the orchestra was happy to have him there.”
