About Jurassic World Rebirth A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.
Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind.
Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, 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 across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora's most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.
The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben's family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs' crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).
An Amblin Entertainment production, Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer's blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Denis Stewart.

Hot off the nearly $200M global opening of its live-action How to Train Your Dragon, Universal kicked off its CineEurope presentation here in Barcelona today with a different sort of soaring beasts — showing exclusive clips from its upcoming Scarlett Johansson-starrer Jurassic World Rebirth. The Gareth Edwards-directed sci-fi adventure entry in the $6B+ grossing franchise starts rollout on July 2. And, of course, there was plenty of attention paid to Wicked: For Good, the sequel to Jon M. Chu's 2024 $750M global grossing fantasy musical.

‘Superman' Flies Into Barcelona With 30 Minutes Of Footage During Warner Bros' CineEurope Presentation

In his first CineEurope outing since adding international to his purview, Warner Bros President of Global Theatrical Distribution, Jeff Goldstein, introduced the studio's show today, capping it off with 30 minutes of DC's July tentpole Superman, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult. The start of the footage was similar to what exhibition saw at CinemaCon in April (which director James Gunn also dropped online during that week), but went well further in an exclusive reveal today. It was teed up first by a local musician playing the iconic theme on stage with an electric guitar, and then in a video from DC chiefs Peter Safran and Gunn. The duo wasn't here in person as the team is embarking on a global tour today, starting in the Philippines.

He also touted 2026's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow from director Craig Gillespie which releases in June next year. Earlier in the WB CineEurope show, F1: The Movie director Joseph Kosinski sent a message to say he'd been 'thrilled' to shoot the Apple Original Films racing pic at different F1 events around the globe, 'to ensure authenticity' which will give audiences 'the ride of a lifetime.' The Brad Pitt-starrer starts worldwide rollout on June 25. During the New Line portion of the WB show, there was an exclusive trailer for Zach Cregger's 'batsh*t insane' Weapons. The original IP begins worldwide rollout on August 6. Also from New Line, The Conjuring: Last Rites got a new look-in, as did Mortal Kombat II. Footage was further shown for the first teaming of filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and star Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another. Some was what we saw in Las Vegas in April, but there was also an exclusive work-in-progress trailer debuted. And, a behind-the-scenes reel was unveiled for Emerald Fennel's take on Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi starring. In a whimsical moment, Bill Damaschke, President Warner Bros Pictures Animation, introduced footage from next year's The Cat in the Hat, and surprised CineEurope attendees with red-and-white stovepipe chapeaux that had been hidden under every seat in the auditorium, while he urged folks to don the caps and stand for a photo.
