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 stars as 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.

Bailey is best known to audiences for his role as Anthony Bridgerton in Netflix’s acclaimed, Regency-era drama Bridgerton.
Last year, he received widespread critical acclaim for his performance as Tim Laughlin in Paramount+ and Showtime’s period drama Fellow Travelerse, for which he earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor.
On 3 October, Bailey will make a special guest appearance in the third season of Heartstopper, before hitting the big screen as Fiyero in Wicked the following month (22 November).
Directed by Jon M. Chu, the long-awaited musical fantasy also stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Galinda, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Horrible, Jeff Goldblum as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp, Bowen Yang as Pfannee, Bronwyn James as ShenShen, Keala Settle as Miss Coddle and Peter Dinklage as Doctor Dillamond.
