Summary

  • Rebirth features a new narrative, cast, and director, sparking enthusiasm among fans.
  • The absence of Chris Pratt and past cast members was approved by some fans.
  • Fans are divided on the new film, with some praising the changes and others preferring the original.

The freshly unveiled teaser for the upcoming movie titled “Jurassic World: Rebirth” has sparked an intense conversation among enthusiasts, especially concerning the lack of a well-known actor from past productions. This film is scheduled to hit theaters in July 2025 and presents a completely new storyline with an entirely fresh set of characters, which fans are eagerly anticipating as it takes the franchise down a path they find intriguing.

Under the guidance of Gareth Edwards, who directed the blockbuster monster film Godzilla (2014), and penned by David Koepp, the original screenwriter of Jurassic Park, comes the new installment in the Jurassic saga titled Jurassic World Rebirth. This film is set five years after the events depicted in Jurassic World Dominion, the concluding chapter of the Jurassic World sequel trilogy. The narrative unfolds as a group of scientists and adventurers, played by Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, embark on a perilous journey to gather ancient DNA for medical research purposes.

Significantly, the new film’s cast doesn’t feature Chris Pratt, who was pivotal in the earlier trilogy, nor any of the prior actors. This move has garnered positive reactions from some Reddit users. User Gojir4R1sing commented, “Without Chris Pratt/Bryce Dallas Howard and the annoying clone child, I’m already liking it more.” Another user concurred, “It looks much improved compared to previous installments. Thank goodness there’s no Chris Pratt.

There’s been a mixed response to the new casting and CGI upgrades, with some fans appreciating the changes compared to earlier films and other cinematic universes such as the MCU. However, others have shown decreasing interest in the franchise. The user who posted the trailer on the forum commented, “I never thought dinosaurs could feel so outdated (and I can’t help but feel the same about Scarlett Johansson).

The reaction to the new trailer seems evenly split between those who found it thrilling due to its departure from previous installments, and those who believe the franchise as a whole has lost some of its initial excitement. As user Motivatedbytacos expressed, “The original was so effective because of its attention to detail.” Spielberg’s movie felt tangible, suspenseful, and electrifying. However, this new version feels insubstantial and forgettable. A prequel to Steven Speilberg’s original Jurassic Park might have rekindled that sense of nostalgia.

I’ve noticed that many modern film franchises have been met with fan exhaustion and underperformance lately. Despite the fact that Jurassic World Dominion, the latest installment of the Jurassic World series, was a box office hit, it received harsh criticism from critics. It remains to be seen if the fresh A-list cast and the original Jurassic Park screenwriter will manage to keep audiences engaged.

It appears that shifting focus from the earlier storylines towards Chris Pratt’s character, Owen Grady, aligns more with what fans feel about him and the Jurassic world, making this change seem like a wise move by Universal Pictures for the continuity of the Jurassic universe.

Jurassic World Rebirth opens in theaters on July 2, 2025.
