'Jurassic World Rebirth' Film: Cast, Trailer and Release Date

The next film in the “Jurassic World” series now has a name.

The highly anticipated movie will be called “Jurassic World Rebirth,” according to a teaser released on YouTube Aug. 29.

The 10-second clip did not feature any footage from the film. Instead, it simply featured the title appearing on a black screen. 

“Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, breakthrough talent Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air,” reads a description of the movie under the video clip.

“Jurassic World Rebirth” will mark the fourth installment in the “Jurassic World” series and the first since 2022’s “Jurassic World Dominion.”

“Five years after the events of ‘Jurassic World Dominion,’ the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs,” the description of the new movie continues.

“Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”

Johansson will play covert operations expert Zora Bennett, who is tapped “to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs.”

Things, however, do not go as planned.

“When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves 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 description says.

“Jurassic World Rebirth,” directed by Gareth Edwards and also starring Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono and Audrina Miranda, will be released in July 2025, the official Jurassic World X account shared on Aug. 29.

Johansson is thrilled to join the “Jurassic Park” family of films, which debuted with the 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park.”

“I have to say, the first ‘Jurassic Park,’ it’s one of the first movies I remember seeing in the theater,” she told TODAY in July when speaking about her role in the upcoming movie. “I was probably, like, 10 or 11, and it was absolutely transformative for me. We had never seen anything like that, CGI used in that way, and when you see it, it still holds up. It looks so great.”
