Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Cast
Universal Pictures | Sci-Fi Adventure | Directed by Gareth Edwards
Jurassic World Rebirth is a bold new chapter in the Jurassic franchise, set several years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion (2022). In a world where most dinosaurs, unable to survive outside specific equatorial climate zones, have retreated to isolated habitats, a covert team is dispatched on a high-stakes mission to collect genetic samples from three enormous and extraordinarily dangerous species. The pharmaceutical compounds locked in those animals' DNA could revolutionize medicine — but retrieving them means venturing deep into territory that belongs to the dinosaurs. David Koepp, who wrote the original Jurassic Park, returned to pen the screenplay, and Gareth Edwards directs with the emphasis on awe and scale that defined his work on Godzilla and Rogue One.
The Jurassic World Rebirth cast brings together a stellar ensemble under director Gareth Edwards, headlined by Scarlett Johansson in her first major franchise lead role in years, alongside Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali and BAFTA-winning actor Jonathan Bailey, who was coming off enormous global recognition from Wicked (2024). The Jurassic World Rebirth cast was assembled to feel fresh and distinct from any of the preceding Jurassic World or Jurassic Park films — these are all new characters, and the ambition is clearly to establish an entirely new ensemble that can carry the franchise forward for a new generation of moviegoers.
Main Cast
Scarlett Johansson
Zora Bennett
The film's lead protagonist, a highly trained covert operative hired to lead the mission into dinosaur-inhabited territory. Zora is skilled, pragmatic, and adaptable — precisely the kind of person you need when the plan immediately falls apart in a landscape ruled by prehistoric apex predators.
Mahershala Ali
Duncan Kincaid
A central member of the mission team whose expertise and moral compass provide a counterweight to the more mercenary elements of the operation. Ali's natural authority and screen presence give Duncan a grounded quality that anchors the film's more spectacular sequences.
Jonathan Bailey
Dr. Henry Loomis
A paleontologist and scientist whose specialized knowledge of dinosaur biology is essential to the mission's success. Loomis is the film's voice of scientific reason, constantly negotiating between wonder at the animals he has spent his career studying and the very real danger they pose to the team's survival.
Rupert Friend
Martin Krebs
A member of the mission whose motivations and loyalties prove more complicated than they initially appear. Friend, known for his work in Homeland and Asteroid City, brings a watchful intensity to Krebs that keeps audiences guessing about where his allegiances truly lie.
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo
Reuben Delgado
A resourceful and capable member of the team who proves essential to the group's survival when the mission goes sideways. Garcia-Rulfo, who starred in The Lincoln Lawyer series, brings warmth and a grounded physicality to the role.
Luna Blaise
Supporting Role
Blaise, known for the television series Manifest, appears in a supporting role. Her specific character and role in the story were not fully detailed in pre-release materials.

Creators & Production
Gareth Edwards
Director. Edwards is best known for Monsters (2010), the 2014 Godzilla reboot, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). His skill with large-scale creature spectacle and his talent for making audiences feel the overwhelming scale of extraordinary beings made him a natural choice to reinvigorate the Jurassic franchise.
David Koepp
Screenwriter. Koepp wrote the original Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), making his return to the franchise for Rebirth a significant creative choice. His involvement signals a desire to reconnect the new chapter with the tone and spirit of the original film.
Frank Marshall
Producer. Marshall has produced every film in the Jurassic franchise since the original 1993 Steven Spielberg film, making him the longest-serving constant creative presence in the series.
Patrick Crowley
Producer. Crowley has co-produced multiple entries in the Jurassic franchise alongside Frank Marshall and brings substantial experience with large-scale studio tentpoles to the production.
Universal Pictures
Studio and Distributor. Universal has been the home of the Jurassic franchise since 1993. Jurassic World Rebirth was released in theaters on July 2, 2025, continuing the series' tradition of summer blockbuster releases.
About the Jurassic World Rebirth Cast
The Jurassic World Rebirth cast represents a deliberate pivot for the franchise. After two trilogies of films — the original Jurassic Park series and the Jurassic World trilogy — Universal chose to introduce entirely new protagonists rather than continue with familiar faces. The choice of Scarlett Johansson as the lead is significant: she brings global star power, the credibility of a performer with extensive action-film experience from her years as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and sufficient versatility to anchor a film that asks for both thrilling physical performance and emotional grounding. Mahershala Ali's presence elevates any production he joins, and his pairing with Johansson creates a central duo with natural on-screen chemistry. Jonathan Bailey, who became a genuine global phenomenon in 2024 through Wicked and his wide range of acclaimed television and stage work, adds further wattage to what is already a formidable ensemble.
The creative decision to bring David Koepp back as screenwriter alongside director Gareth Edwards — whose Rogue One demonstrated a rare ability to balance spectacle with story — suggests that Jurassic World Rebirth is aiming for something closer to the original Spielberg film's combination of wonder, genuine danger, and character-driven drama. Koepp's screenplay reportedly moves away from the more sprawling, globe-trotting ambitions of the Jurassic World trilogy and returns to a more contained, survival-focused narrative that keeps the audience trapped with its characters in close proximity to enormous, dangerous, awe-inspiring animals. This tonal recalibration, combined with the strength of its cast, generated significant anticipation for the film well ahead of its July 2025 release.
