Jurassic World Rebirth

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, covert-ops specialist Zora Bennett is hired to lead a tight unit on a secret mission: recover genetic material from the planet's three largest dinosaurs. The operation goes off course when a civilian family's boating trip is capsized, leaving survivors and operatives stranded together on a remote island. Cut off from outside help, the mixed group scrambles to stay alive as tensions rise between trained professionals and terrified civilians. As they push inland they uncover a buried facility and a hidden program that rewrites what the world thought it knew about dinosaur genetics, corporate cover-ups, and who benefits from playing with life itself. Stakes keep climbing as alliances shift and survival becomes a test of wit and will.

Released in 2025, Jurassic World Rebirth was directed by Gareth Edwards and draws on the franchise origins created by Michael Crichton, with David Koepp involved in the story development. The cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.

As the latest entry in a long-running franchise, the film renewed conversations about the ethics of genetic engineering and corporate secrecy in pop culture. Zora Bennett's character, played by Johansson, quickly became a focal point for fan discussion, and several set pieces were widely shared online, helping the movie stay visible in the summer release slate.

The film opened widely in theaters in 2025 and generated steady box office attention during its initial weeks. Its commercial performance kept the franchise in public conversation, even as opinions varied on whether it balanced spectacle with narrative depth.
