Fast-tracked into super-lightspeed production, Jurassic World: Rebirth has already wrapped filming. Producer Frank Marshall posted on X to confirm filming has wrapped, and they are now into post-production ahead of a release next summer.
That is a summer that sees Jurassic World tussle with Superman, Mission: Impossible 8, Thunderbolts, The Fantastic Four, and Captain America: Brave New World among others. If this was the 1990s then we would be saying that this was shaping up to be a classic summer and preparing to spend just about every Saturday night from late June to late August at the movie theater. But it isn’t the 1990s, is it?
Jurassic World: Rebirth stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Ed Skrein. Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One) directs.
So far, we knew the story will pick up five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, where the modern Earth’s ecology has proven inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those that do survive exist only in isolated equatorial environments that resemble their own time, the conditions in which they once thrived.
When it becomes clear that three creatures in this biosphere hold the key to a pharmaceutical breakthrough that will save millions of lives, covert operations expert Zora Bennett (Johansson) is contracted to lead a mission to secure genetic material.
Things go awry when the mission intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by aquatic dinosaurs. Stranded on an island, they will come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.
The project had stints filming in Thailand, Malta, and the UK.
Jurassic World: Rebirth opens in cinemas on July 2nd 2025.
