Universal’s been chomping at the bit to do more Jurassic Park movies, and it thinks it’s got a new saga ready, starting with July’s Jurassic World Rebirth. Now that dinosaurs are freely roaming around the planet in relative harmony with humans, what could go wrong?
As it turns out, quite a lot. The planet isn’t as hospitable to the genetically engineered beasts as imagined, so they’re now residing in tropical areas similar to Islas Nublar and Sorna. Some of the dinosaurs have genetic material which could help the human race, so a pharmaceutical company recruits covert ops soldier Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) and smuggler Duncan Kincard (Mahershala Ali) to ferry and safeguard a team led by Jonathan Bailey’s Henry Loomis to the island and get samples from three dinos from land, sea, and air.
But these creatures are on the island that used to be the testing site for the original Jurassic Park, which is also home to botched experiments that’ve evolved and mutated over the decades into even deadlier forms. Like the previous Jurassic movies, there’ll be plenty of running, shooting, and discoveries in Rebirth as Zora and the others try to complete the mission and get off the island in one piece. Easier said than done, but at least they don’t have to deal with locusts this time.
Also starring Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Jurassic World Rebirth is in theaters July 2.
