Universal has officially released the first look of “Jurassic World Rebirth,” the seventh film in the 31-year-old franchise, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali. Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “The Creator”) is directing from a script by David Koepp, who wrote the original “Jurassic Park” released in 1993.

According to an official summary, the film will be set five years following the events of “Jurassic World Dominion,” when “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 synopsis continues. “The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”

The studio also revealed details about many of the characters in the film. 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; Bailey plays a paleontologist named Dr. Henry Loomis; and 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 includes Luna Blaise (“Manifest”), David Iacono (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”) and Audrina Miranda (“Lopez vs. Lopez”).

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