Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and director Gareth Edwards took the CinemaCon stage on Wednesday to introduce new footage from their upcoming tentpole “Jurassic World: Rebirth.” The footage begins in a lab, alarms go off and a dinosaur eats a poor scientist. Small dinos in cryo captivity are shown.
“Maybe we should make this quick, “Johansson’s character says. Various shot of Dinos attacking are shown, before the roar of a huge dinosaur yells to end the footage presentation. The film is set five years after “Jurassic World Dominion” and will build off the events of that film.
A sequel to “Jurassic World Dominion,” the film takes place fie years after the events of “Dominion,” and includes a star-studded cast made up entirely of “Jurassic” newcomers. While “Jurassic Park” screenwriter David Koepp has returned to pen the script for “Rebirth,” the new film is also helmed by a director who has previously never stepped foot in its dinosaur-infested world. Scarlett Johansson leads the “Jurassic World Rebirth” cast.
Two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali is set to appear opposite her. “Wicked” star Jonathan Bailey rounds out the main ensemble. Rupert Friend (“Companion”), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (“The Lincoln Lawyer”), Luna Blaise (“Manifest”), David Iacono (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), and Ed Skrein (“Deadpool”) also star in the forthcoming sequel.
“Jurassic World Rebirth” is directed by Gareth Edwards. The film marks Edwards’ first time playing around in the “Jurassic Park” world. Fortunately, he’s no stranger to making big, bold sci-fi movies, or to handling valuable pieces of existing intellectual property.
Edwards’ previous credits include 2010’s “Monsters,” 2014’s “Godzilla,” 2016’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and 2023’s “The Creator.” “Jurassic World Rebirth” is set to hit theaters on Wednesday, July 2.
