Jurassic World Rebirth: Franchise Relaunch Set for July

Jurassic World Rebirth, a 'standalone sequel' directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, is set to launch on July 2, 2025, introducing a new cast led by Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. The film takes place five years after Jurassic World Dominion and centers on covert operative Zora Bennett, who leads a mission to retrieve genetic material from a perilous island. No legacy characters return, but the movie contains Easter eggs for longtime fans and aims to be accessible for newcomers. Gareth Edwards emphasizes a unique tone, combining humor and horror in line with Koepp's 'Nine Commandments' for the script. Producer Frank Marshall has hinted at future installments but stated that no sequels are planned until audience response is measured. Box office projections indicate a solid, albeit slightly lower, opening compared to previous franchise entries.
