We’re officially less than six months away from the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth, and while there are plenty of projects coming this year with major box office potential (Superman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps), the next chapter in the world created by Steven Spielberg may end up taking the crown over all of them. USA Today has a new look at the film of Jonathan Bailey, who plays Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist seeking dinosaur DNA for a miracle drug. Bailey is best known for his role as Lord Anthony Bridgerton in Bridgerton, the Netflix Original series that aired its third season last year. He more recently also starred in the third season of Heartstopper and even played Fiyero in Wicked, the musical by Jon M. Chu that’s grossed over $680 million worldwide.
Bailey isn’t the only major star to secure a role in Jurassic World: Rebirth. Starring alongside him as Zora Bennett is Marvel veteran Scarlett Johansson, who will always be synonymous with playing Black Widow in the MCU, but she also recently teamed up with Channing Tatum for Fly Me to the Moon. Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali has also been tapped for a role in Jurassic World: Rebirth, where he’ll play Duncan Kincaid, and while the troubles his Blade movie has dealt with the last few years certainly sting, joining another of the world’s biggest franchises will hopefully help alleviate the pain. Ed Skrein, best known for his role as Francis in Deadpool will also star in Jurassic World: Rebirth, along with Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia Rulfo, Luna Blaise, Philippine Velge, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, and Bechir Sylvain.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned to Collider as the updates come in.
Jurassic World Rebirth explores the revival of dinosaur attractions with advanced genetic engineering and immersive experiences. As scientists and park staff grapple with ethical dilemmas and unexpected challenges, the balance between human ambition and nature’s unpredictability is tested, leading to unforeseen consequences that impact both the prehistoric creatures and their creators.
