The next chapter in the Jurassic World saga is here, and Jurassic World 4: Rebirth (2025) promises to deliver more heart-pounding action and dinosaur mayhem than ever before. Universal Pictures has released the main trailer, showcasing the return of Chris Pratt as Owen Grady and introducing Scarlett Johansson to the franchise in a thrilling new role. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Rebirth seeks to expand the iconic dinosaur universe into new territories while revisiting the core themes of human ambition, ethics, and the consequences of playing with nature.
The trailer opens with sweeping shots of dense jungles and desolate cityscapes overrun by dinosaurs, signaling that the events of Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) have left the world forever changed. Dinosaurs now roam freely across the globe, living among humans in a precarious new ecosystem. While some areas have adapted, many regions have fallen into chaos, with governments struggling to contain the prehistoric creatures.
Scarlett Johansson makes her entrance as Dr. Evelyn Harris, a brilliant paleogeneticist with a controversial plan to harness the dinosaurs’ DNA for medical advancements. As tensions mount between different factions trying to control the dinosaurs, Dr. Harris becomes a key figure in the global debate about how humanity should coexist with these ancient creatures. She teams up with Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), who are now working to protect both humans and dinosaurs from exploitation.
The trailer teases thrilling action sequences, including an epic chase scene through a sprawling metropolis as velociraptors hunt down Grady and Harris, and a suspenseful underwater encounter with a massive Mosasaurus. Audiences are also introduced to new species of genetically modified dinosaurs, including one particularly terrifying hybrid designed to be the ultimate predator.
Amidst the chaos, the trailer hints at deeper themes of responsibility and survival. Dr. Harris’s work raises questions about whether humanity should continue to manipulate the genetic makeup of dinosaurs — or even humans — to serve its needs. Owen Grady, now weary from years of fighting, faces his greatest challenge yet as he tries to prevent another disaster from unfolding.
The visual effects are, as always, a major draw, with incredibly lifelike dinosaurs interacting seamlessly with the human characters in both intimate moments and large-scale battles. The expansive landscapes, from sprawling forests to decaying urban ruins, create an immersive environment for the action-packed sequences.
With a budget rumored to be around $250 million, Jurassic World 4: Rebirth promises to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025. The film blends cutting-edge special effects, intense action, and thought-provoking questions about humanity’s relationship with nature. Fans of the franchise can expect plenty of nostalgia as well, with references to earlier films and possible surprise appearances by legacy characters.
Set to release in summer 2025, Jurassic World 4: Rebirth is gearing up to be a thrilling continuation of the iconic dinosaur saga.
