New “Jurassic World” Film Reveals Title, Plot, & First Images of Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali

Universal Pictures has invited you back to the world of dinosaurs living in our midst.

Their latest Jurassic World film now has an official title, a revealed plot, and two brand-new images. Director Gareth Edwards is at the helm of Jurassic World: Rebirth, which stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, all of whom are pictured in the new images.

Jurassic World: Rebirth is set 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 film’s press notes state. “The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”

You know what this means—our stars will have to locate those dinosaurs and secure those DNA samples, and herein is where adventure awaits. Johansson plays covert operations expert Zora Bennett, who is contracted to lead a team on a top-secret mission to locate and procure those samples from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s trusted team leader, and Bailey plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis. There’s a hitch in the operation; however, when Zora’s team comes into contact with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos. Zora, her team, and the family are then stranded on an island “where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades,” the press notes read.

Johansson, Ali, and Bailey are joined by Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi), who appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express), who plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family. Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) play 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). 

Edwards directs from a script by the original Jurassic Park and Lost World: Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp, based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by longtime Jurassic producers Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart, and Jim Spencer. 

Jurassic World: Rebirth is set to hit theaters on July 2, 2025.
