Seems like only yesterday this franchise got rebooted, and now it’s getting another one. We don’t mind, though. We’re just here for the big lizards.
When is Jurassic: World Rebirth being released in New Zealand?
Jurassic World: Rebirth stomps into New Zealand cinemas on July 3, 2025.
What is Jurassic: World Rebirth about?
Dinosaurs! Who cares about anything else?
Oh, okay…
Five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, dinosaurs have pulled back to tropical climes, which is lucky for us. Covert operative Zora Bennett and paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis are hired to lead a team to yet another top secret island—this one apparently where they first developed dinosaurs. Okay, sure. Their job is to take DNA samples from three of the biggest species on there, in hopes of using them in some revolutionary pharmaceutical treatment that will save hundreds of lives. As ever, the wheels come off pretty sharpish because, in the Jurassic universe, people never learn.
This one comes to us from Rogue One and Godzilla director Gareth Edwards, who knows a thing or two about making things on screen look ginormous, and original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
The cast of Jurassic: World Rebirth
Scarlett Johansson is Zora Bennett; Mahershala Ali, probably having resigned himself to the new Blade movie never getting made, is team leader Duncan Kincaid; Jonathan Bailey is Dr. Henry Loomis; Rupert Friend is Martin Krebs, a pharmaceutical rep and therefore probably a villain; Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is Reuben Delgado, who is shipwrecked on the island with his kids; Luna Blaise and Audrina Miranda are Teresa and Isabella Delgado, those very kids; David Iacono is Xavier Dobbs; and Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein are members of Zora’s team. Keep an eye on Skrein because he almost always plays bad guys.

Why we’re excited about Jurassic: World Rebirth
Because it’s got dinosaurs in it! It doesn’t have to be complicated. If they keep making them, we’ll keep watching them.
