06 Feb 2025

The official trailer for the latest installment in the Jurassic World franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, was dropped recently.

The film features new characters and storylines, giving a fresh start to the series.

It will be released three years after Jurassic World Dominion, the final installment of the trilogy that revived the franchise after over a decade of dormancy.

But, will it have the trilogy lead Chris Pratt in it?

Jurassic World Rebirth is set five years after Dominion, but it features a completely new cast.

Casting confirmation

For now, it does look like Pratt won't be appearing in Jurassic World Rebirth.

This marks a major departure for the franchise, as Pratt's character Owen Grady—a Velociraptor trainer and animal behaviorist—was a fan favorite in the previous trilogy.

The trailer also doesn't feature Bryce Dallas Howard, another key player from earlier installments.

Plot preview

In Jurassic World Rebirth, Johansson's character Zora finds a group of dinosaurs that could help humanity.

The movie also delves into the concept that Earth is becoming uninhabitable for dinosaurs, pushing them into isolated environments similar to Earth from 65 million years ago.

This fresh take on the franchise will be revealed on July 2, 2025.

All hope is not lost, as Pratt or Dallas Howard's characters might still play cameo roles.
