Jonathan Bailey is Dr Henry Loomis in the first look image of Jurassic World 4. The upcoming dino-blockbuster, which will mark the seventh film in the iconic franchise, is set five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) when the “planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs”. “Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived,” the synopsis reads. “The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.” Scarlett Johansson starsas Zora Bennett, a covert ops expert who has been hired to lead a team to extract DNA from “the three most gargantuan dinosaur species left alive”.
Her team includes Bailey’s character, a paleontologist, her partner Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali) and Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), a “representative of the drug conglomerate funding the expedition”.
The team will encounter a civilian family “whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos,” which leads to the characters being “stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.” Additional cast members include Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain and Ed Skrein.
In the first image, Bailey and Johansson’s characters can be seen hunched in tall grass with wonder in their eyes. (I think it’s dinosaur.) Jurassic World: Rebirth will be released by Universal on 2 July, 2025.
