Jurassic World: Rebirth – 2025

The story unfolds three years after Jurassic World Dominion, in a world where most dinosaurs have vanished from the familiar ecosystems, surviving only in isolated equatorial regions. A covert mission, led by operative Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), targets a remote island former research site to extract genetic material from the three largest prehistoric species—land, sea, and air—for a groundbreaking heart-disease treatment.

But the mission spirals out of control when Zora’s team encounters a civilian family whose boating trip has been disrupted by aquatic dinosaurs—stranding them together—and unveiling horrifying secrets that have been buried on the island for decades.
