The New Era: Unmasking The All-Star Cast Of Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)
The roar of the dinosaurs is returning, but the faces are entirely new. As of late 2025, the *Jurassic Park* franchise is officially entering a bold, new era with the highly anticipated film, *Jurassic World: Rebirth*, set for release on July 2, 2025. This seventh installment in the cinematic saga is a massive departure from the previous trilogy, leaving behind the beloved characters of Owen Grady and Claire Dearing for a fresh, all-star ensemble cast led by some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
The new film, directed by Gareth Edwards, is designed to kickstart a new trilogy, focusing on a high-stakes mission that intersects with a civilian family stranded by marauding aquatic dinosaurs. The cast of *Jurassic World: Rebirth* is not just a collection of actors; it's a team of powerhouse talents ready to redefine the franchise's future. This is the complete, updated guide to the stars who will face the prehistoric threat next.
Meet the Core Cast of Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)
The new film introduces a trio of protagonists with a background in covert operations and science, establishing a high-tension, action-thriller tone. The main cast includes three major Hollywood figures, each bringing a unique energy to the dinosaur-infested world.
Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett
- Character Role: Zora Bennett is a skilled covert operations expert and special ops mercenary contracted to lead a top-secret mission.
- Character Profile: Zora is described as a "badass mercenary" whose character was shaped significantly by Johansson's input and is compared to an underrated star from the original *Jurassic Park: The Lost World*. Her operation is focused on retrieving vital samples from colossal creatures on the dangerous Ile Saint-Hubert.
- Recent Projects: Johansson is a two-time Academy Award nominee, best known for her role as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis
- Character Role: Dr. Henry Loomis is a paleontologist-turned-survivalist who finds himself at the heart of the adventure.
- Character Profile: Bailey's character represents the scientific link to the dinosaurs, a crucial element of the *Jurassic* saga. His paleontologist background contrasts sharply with his new reality as a survivalist in a world where dinosaurs roam free. He is an Omega ambassador in the film, wearing a distinctive Railmaster watch.
- Recent Projects: Bailey has achieved global fame for his role as Anthony Bridgerton in the Netflix series *Bridgerton* and his award-winning work in theater.
Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid
- Character Role: Duncan Kincaid is a black-ops logistics specialist and an old friend and colleague of Zora Bennett.
- Character Profile: Kincaid is the grounded, tactical support for the mission. His black-ops background suggests a deep understanding of high-risk, clandestine operations. The character's role was reportedly almost killed off in early drafts, but was thankfully preserved for the final film.
- Recent Projects: Ali is a two-time Academy Award winner for his roles in *Moonlight* and *Green Book*. He is also slated to star in the long-awaited MCU film *Blade*.
Supporting Cast and Key Entities
The ensemble cast is rounded out by several other talented actors who will play crucial roles in the film's plot, which involves Zora's team and a separate civilian family whose boating expedition is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs.
- Rupert Friend: Known for *Obi-Wan Kenobi* and *Anatomy of a Scandal*.
- Manuel Garcia-Rulfo: Known for *The Lincoln Lawyer* and *The Magnificent Seven*.
- Ed Skrein: Known for *Deadpool* and *Alita: Battle Angel*.
- Luna Blaise: Known for *Manifest*.
- Niamh Finlay: A rising star joining the franchise.
- Gareth Edwards: The director, known for *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story* and *Godzilla*.
- David Koepp: The screenwriter, who penned the original *Jurassic Park* script.
Why the Jurassic World: Rebirth Cast Signals a New Direction
The shift in casting from the *Jurassic World* trilogy’s stars (Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard) to a new ensemble of action and drama heavyweights like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali is a clear signal from Universal Pictures. This is not a continuation of the previous story but a complete "rebirth" of the franchise, as the title suggests.
The new direction is characterized by a focus on high-stakes, covert-ops action that blends with the classic dinosaur horror. Zora Bennett's role as a special ops mercenary and Duncan Kincaid's as a black-ops logistics specialist suggest a plot driven by military precision and corporate espionage, reminiscent of the darker themes in *The Lost World*. The inclusion of a new paleontologist, Dr. Henry Loomis, ensures the film maintains the scientific wonder and ethical debate that has always been the heart of the *Jurassic Park franchise*.
Director Gareth Edwards and original screenwriter David Koepp are aiming to balance the franchise's legacy elements with fresh faces and modern, high-intensity action. This creative team, combined with a cast of proven talent, promises a cinematic experience that honors the past while boldly forging a new path for the dinosaur saga.
Where Are the Cast Members of Jurassic World Dominion Now?
While the new film, *Jurassic World: Rebirth*, features an all-new cast, the legacy of the *Jurassic World* trilogy—which concluded with *Jurassic World Dominion*—remains an important part of the franchise's topical authority. The stars who played Owen Grady and Claire Dearing have moved on to major new projects, proving their continued relevance in Hollywood.
Chris Pratt (Owen Grady)
Chris Pratt, who played the fan-favorite raptor trainer Owen Grady, has a packed schedule for 2025 and beyond. He is set to star in the action-thriller film *Mercy*, which is scheduled for release in August 2025. Additionally, he is reprising his role as James Reece in the Prime Video series *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf*, which is set to premiere in 2025.
Bryce Dallas Howard (Claire Dearing)
Bryce Dallas Howard, who portrayed the former park manager and dinosaur rights activist Claire Dearing, is focusing heavily on her career as a director. She has successfully directed episodes for major Disney+ properties, including *The Mandalorian* and *The Book of Boba Fett*, carving out a significant path for herself in the *Star Wars* universe. She is also starring in the upcoming film *Deep Cover*, which is expected to stream on Prime Video in June 2025.
The Original Trio (Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler, and Dr. Malcolm)
The iconic trio from *Jurassic Park*—Sam Neill (Dr. Alan Grant), Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler), and Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Ian Malcolm)—who returned for *Dominion*, continue to be active in film and television. While their involvement in *Rebirth* is unconfirmed, their impact on the franchise is permanent, and their return was a massive highlight of the final *Jurassic World* trilogy film.
The Future of the Jurassic Park Franchise
With a fresh cast, a new director, and the return of the original *Jurassic Park* screenwriter, *Jurassic World: Rebirth* is poised to be a major cinematic event in 2025. The film promises to deliver a different kind of dinosaur thriller, one that balances the high-octane action of a covert operation with the primal terror of a world where dinosaurs are a global threat. The casting of Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali ensures that the new era of the *Jurassic Park franchise* will be anchored by star power and compelling performances, ready to captivate a new generation of fans.
