Jurassic World; Rebirth Trailer Unveils New Era of Dinosaur Action

2025-03-01

The first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, the latest installment in the long-running dinosaur franchise, has been released, promising a new era of prehistoric action. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), the film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey in leading roles. Set to hit theaters globally on July 2, 2025, the movie introduces a fresh cast and a new storyline while revisiting familiar themes.

The film is set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion (2022), where the planet has become largely inhospitable for dinosaurs. The remaining creatures now reside in isolated environments that mimic their natural habitats. The plot follows a team of scientists and covert operatives, led by Johansson’s character, Zora Bennett, who embark on a mission to retrieve genetic samples from three colossal dinosaurs—aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial. These samples are believed to hold the key to a life-saving drug for humanity. However, the mission takes a dangerous turn when Zora and her team, including Bailey as paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis and Ali as team leader Duncan Kincaid, become stranded on an island with a civilian family. Together, they uncover a long-hidden secret tied to the island’s history.

The trailer showcases Edwards’ signature visual style, with impressive CGI dinosaurs and action sequences. However, some critics have noted that the film appears to retreat from the “world of dinosaurs” concept teased in previous installments, instead returning to the franchise’s traditional island setting. This has raised questions about the series’ willingness to explore new creative directions.

Produced by Amblin Entertainment and based on characters created by Michael Crichton, Jurassic World: Rebirth aims to revitalize the franchise with a new cast and fresh stakes. Whether it will deliver on its promise of a “new era” remains to be seen when it premieres next summer.
