Release Date: 3 July 2025

Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Mahershala Ali, Luna Blaise 

This summer, the Jurassic franchise enters a bold new chapter with Jurassic World: Rebirth, set five years after Jurassic World: Dominion. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, the film follows an elite extraction team on a perilous mission to an abandoned island research facility – once the site of the original Jurassic Park – now overrun by the deadliest surviving dinosaurs. With Earth’s ecology now largely unfit for dinosaurs, the few remaining creatures hold a genetic secret that could revolutionise modern medicine. Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, this action-packed adventure reignites the legacy of the billion-dollar franchise.
