A Streaming Guide to <i>Jurassic World Rebirth</i>

The dinosaurs are back. Over three decades (and several sequels) after Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park first roared onto screens, Jurassic World Rebirth arrives as a bold new chapter in the beloved franchise. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla), the film revisits the chaos of dino resurrection through a standalone story that honors the original while introducing a new generation of characters—and creatures. The film premieres in theaters today.

Set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, Rebirth opens in a world where most dinosaurs have been pushed into isolated zones along the equator. Among them are three genetically modified giants whose DNA may hold the key to a revolutionary new drug. That premise sends a team of operatives, led by Scarlett Johansson’s Zora Bennett, on a high-stakes mission to a remote island once home to InGen’s most secretive lab.

“I saw Jurassic Park when I was 10 years old in the theater,” Johansson said in an interview with Today. “It was so impactful—I was completely transfixed, mesmerized, carried away, terrified, all of that stuff, and it’s part of the formative part of my childhood.”

For Johansson, the role is a longtime dream fulfilled. “It turns out that if you harass Frank Marshall enough, you could get a job,” she joked, referencing the longtime franchise producer.

The cast also includes Jonathan Bailey as museum paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, Mahershala Ali as government operative Duncan Kincaid, and Luna Blaise as Teresa, a girl whose family vacation gets interrupted by the prehistoric beasts. “It’s a whole new band of characters that nobody’s seen before,” Blaise told ELLE of the film. “It’s a new story and a new chapter.” She added of her co-star Johansson, “Seeing Scarlett man the troops and be the captain of our ship was awesome.”

Edwards, who grew up admiring Spielberg, leaned into the original film’s feel. “Jurassic Park is perfect pure cinema,” he told NBC. “I never thought I could beat what Steven did. But I do hope we’ve made a film that’s worthy of it.”

Rebirth was shot on 35mm film and filmed on location in Thailand and Malta. “Thailand had some pretty serious creature critters,” Johansson noted to Today, recalling a jungle shoot interrupted by cockroaches and scorpions.

But the film’s real monsters are the new hybrid giants. Among them: the Distortus Rex, or D-Rex, a terrifying blend of T-Rex DNA with influences from other movie monsters. “There’s a little bit of the Rancor from Star Wars, and some of H.R. Giger’s alien in there,” Edwards told Collider. “But there’s also this empathy—we wanted you to feel slightly sorry for it.”

Not yet—but it’s coming. Jurassic World Rebirth is currently playing only in theaters. However, as a Universal Pictures release, it will likely be available soon for digital rent or purchase.

When it comes to streaming, Rebirth is expected to arrive on Peacock after its theatrical premiere, following the Universal Studios’ standard release pattern, though no official date has been confirmed.
