‘Jurassic World Rebirth’: Sequel Release Date, Cast

Since the release of “Jurassic World Dominion” in 2022, which featured actors from the first film alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, fans have wondered if the franchise would continue.

Pratt told the Today Show in May 2022 that “Dominion” felt like a franchise finale.

“This is the sixth Jurassic film and it’s the end of this franchise,” Pratt said. “I really think it’s the end. You’ve picked up the legacy, Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, plus the Jurassic World cast, all converged, our stories converging in a way that’s very much an ending. “

But Howard told People in August 2022 that she was excited to see the franchise continue, although she believed the next film would have a “largely different cast.”

On Thursday, Universal announced that a new movie called “Jurassic World Rebirth” will open in theaters on July 2, 2025.

Rob Mitchell, director of theatrical insights at film industry research firm Gower Street Analytics, told Business Insider that “Jurassic World Rebirth” will likely earn more than $1 billion, like its predecessors.

Mitchell said the franchise is popular enough to survive negative reviews, as “Dominion” still earned more than $1 billion with a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 29 percent.

Mitchell also singled out the cast of Mahershala Ali and Scarlett Johannsson, who he said is the biggest star the franchise has ever hired.

“I think the fact that it has these big star names like Scarlet and very respected names like Mahershala Ali is going to make people say, ‘Well, there’s got to be something interesting about this that I can determine these boys to do”. this movie,” Mitchell said.

Here’s what we know about the sequel, including the new cast and synopsis.
