Distortus Rex

Jurassic World Rebirth is a 2025 American science fiction action thriller film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp. A standalone sequel to Jurassic World Dominion (2022), it is the fourth Jurassic World film and the seventh installment overall in the Jurassic Park franchise. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein.

Work on the film began shortly after the release of Jurassic World Dominion, when executive producer Steven Spielberg recruited Koepp to help him develop a new installment in the series. Koepp previously co-wrote the original Jurassic Park film (1993) and wrote its sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). Development of Rebirth was first reported in January 2024. Edwards was hired as director a month later, and casting commenced shortly thereafter. Principal photography took place in Thailand, Malta, and the United Kingdom from June to September 2024.

Jurassic World Rebirth premiered on June 17, 2025, at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, and was released in the United States and Canada by Universal Pictures on July 2. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some deeming it an improvement over the previous entries and praising the action sequences and dinosaurs, while others criticized the screenplay and characters. It grossed $140 million worldwide against a budget of $180 million.

In 2010, a laboratory is set up on the island of Ile Saint-Hubert in the Atlantic Ocean, to create transgenetic mutated dinosaurs. One of these creations, a deformed six-limbed tyrannosaur dubbed "Distortus rex" escapes containment and wreaks havoc, forcing the facility personnel to abandon the island. Seventeen years later, and five years after the Biosyn incident that caused the transgenic locust outbreak, the Earth's climate is inhospitable to sustain the dinosaurs. They are forced to reside around the equator, which resembles the Mesozoic climate and which has been marked as a no-travel zone.
