The new Jurassic World movie from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment received an official title on Thursday morning, along with a first-look photos.

The project titled, “Jurassic World Rebirth,” hails director Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “The Creator”) and scriptwriter David Koepp, who wrote the original “Jurassic Park” released in 1993.

Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, the pic will be set five years following the events of “Jurassic World Dominion,”.

The official synopsis reads: “The planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”

Universal also revealed details about many of the characters in the seventh installment of the 31-year-old franchise.

Johansson’s character is a covert ops expert named Zora Bennett, who has been hired to lead the team extracting DNA from the three most gargantuan dinosaur species left alive, Ali plays Zora’s partner, Duncan Kincaid, and Bailey plays a paleontologist named Dr. Henry Loomis.

Rupert Friend (“Homeland”) plays Martin Krebs, the representative of the drug conglomerate funding the expedition. Philippine Velge (“Station Eleven”), Bechir Sylvain (“BMF”) and Ed Skrein (“Deadpool”) make up the rest of Zora’s team.

Eventually, they encounter a civilian family whose “Boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos,” at which point everyone becomes “stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.”

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the family that’s been shipwrecked, which consists of Luna Blaise (“Manifest”), David Iacono (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”) and Audrina Miranda (“Lopez vs. Lopez”).

Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley are producing the film, and Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart, and Jim Spencer are executive producers.

“Jurassic World Rebirth” is scheduled to open on July 2, 2025.
