Overview

• Jurassic World Rebirth opened July 2 under director Gareth Edwards and stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali in new leading roles.
• The film reverses Jurassic World Dominion’s premise by confining dinosaurs to remote equatorial islands rather than having them roam the globe.
• Genetically engineered hybrids such as the Distortus Rex and Mutadon underscore the ethical risks of InGen’s ongoing bioengineering experiments.
• Critical response has been mixed to positive, with reviewers praising the film’s spectacle and ethical themes but noting its self-contained story and absence of a post-credits scene.
• Universal will release the film on premium video on demand in mid-August and on Peacock in early October, and any continuation of the franchise hinges on its theatrical performance.
