Overview

• Gareth Edwards says he “pushed it a little bit further” to deliver more intense scares than previous Jurassic films, mixing horror with humor.
• The sequel’s opening acknowledges audiences are “not that interested in dinosaurs anymore,” a creative gamble Edwards labels an “honest” foundation.
• Five years after Jurassic World Dominion, covert operative Zora (Scarlett Johansson), Duncan (Mahershala Ali) and paleontologist Henry (Jonathan Bailey) embark on an illicit mission to quarantined Ile Saint-Hubert.
• The introduction of the Mutadon—a monstrous byproduct of failed genetic experiments—highlights the narrative’s ethical stakes and heightened peril.
• Set for worldwide release on July 2, Universal is centering its final promotional push on Rebirth’s intensified horror and the high-risk expedition at its heart.
