Jurassic World Rebirth director Gareth Edwards thinks the new Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali-led movie could lead to more sequels.
Jurassic World Rebirth will be the seventh movie in the Jurassic Park franchise. The blockbuster epic is scheduled to be released in United States theaters on July 2, 2025, from Universal Pictures.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Edwards discussed how Rebirth could lead to additional sequels as he feels the new movie is just the "beginning of a brand-new chapter” to the Jurassic World series.
"I can’t speak for Universal, but it did feel like a new trilogy, in a way," Edwards said. "I’m not sure what their plans are, but it felt like the beginning of a brand-new chapter in this franchise. To me, it’s a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films. There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws. It's like little greatest hits of all those aspects of his films that I loved growing up as a child. It’s essentially a little adventure odyssey across this island, a survival story, really."
Entertainment Weekly has also shared four new Jurassic World Rebirth photos, which can be viewed below via an X post from DiscussingFilm:
What else did Gareth Edwards say about Jurassic World Rebirth?
"Once you’re on the adventure, the film doesn’t let go until the end credits," he noted. "The enjoyment of it is in the moment-to-moment chase, escape, scare, horror, curve balls in the whole plotting of the set pieces and the dinosaur moments."
Along with Johansson and Ali, the movie also stars Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and more.
Regarding the movie's special effects, Edwards said, "Jurassic Park did lead the way with computer graphics, but I feel like we got lost along the way with the arms race to a spectacle. Jurassic actually only had just a few dozen VFX shots in it, and it’s such a powerful film. So, it was trying to go back to all those tricks and ideas that tease the audience, that creates suspense and tension that get you on the edge of your seat. I just wanted to create that feeling I had when I was young of being in awe of these things."
