Summary
Dinosaurs are coming back to theaters inJurassic World Rebirthon July 20, 2025, directed by Gareth Edwards. The seventh entry in the beloved blockbuster franchise is not only going to be introducing a whole new set of human characters, but also a new location featuring a thriving dinosaur ecosystem.
With the plot revolving around scientists and mercenaries going to find and collect the DNA of the three largest dinosaurs on an island,Jurassic World Rebirthis going to feature a huge collection of dinosaurs. Some are familiar classics that have been part of theJurassicSaga since the start, while others are brand new to the movies.
8Titanosaurus
The Largest Sauropod Seen Thus Far In The Films
Emulating that same feeling of majesty as the Brachiosaurs from the originalJurassic Park, theTitanosaurusis the first new dinosaur fans have seen thanks to the trailer. Potentially the largest sauropods seen in the franchise thus far, they have large fins on their backs and heads combined with a long whip-like tail that makes them stand out from all the other longnecks in the series.
The fins on the Titanosaur are potentially a reference to the Godzilla monster of the same name, which also sported fins. Director Gareth Edwards is not only a fan of Godzillabut also started the current MonsterVerseas director of 2014’sGodzilla. Like many dinosaurs in theJurassicSaga, it is likely a result of using different animals to fill the holes in the genetic code.
7Velociraptor
These Pack Hunting Theropods Are Going Back To Horror
The fast and deadly pack hunters known asVelociraptorshave become as much of a poster child forJurassic Parkas the T-Rex. The last threeJurassic Worldmovies made their Velociraptors into stars by focusing on them more as wild animalsrather than bloodthirsty monsters, but since the new dinosaurs seemingly have no experience with humans, the iconic raptors may be returning to their horror roots.
Over the years, Velociraptors in theJurassicSaga have also become notorious for being almost nothing like their real-life counterparts. Velociraptors are small, barely bigger than a turkey or a large chicken, while the book and film versions bear more of a resemblance to Deinonychus in both design and size.
6Quetzalcoatlus
InGen’s Version Looks Way Different From The One In Jurassic World Dominion
There is no mention of the Pterosaurs inJurassic World Rebirthbeing calledQuetzalcoatlus, but given its massive size and design, most are assuming that is what this creature is.The characters are exploring an islandto find the three largest animals on land, sea, and air to harvest DNA from their eggs, and Quetzalcoatlus is currently the largest flying reptile on record.
It is worth mentioning that there are visual discrepancies in the design for Quetzalcoatlus compared to when the creatures were first introduced inJurassic World Dominion. The simple answer could be that the filmmakers just wanted to do something different, but the new Quetzalcoatlus may be the creation of InGen’s design, whereas the one inDominionwas created by their competitor, BioSyn.
5Dilophosaurus
The Creatures That Got Rid Of Dennis Nedry
After making their terrifying debut in the firstJurassic Park, theDilophosauruswas seemingly abandoned by the franchise for 30 years. Finally, inJurassic World Dominion, they had a much-needed comeback and are now returning inJurassic World Rebirth, once again suggesting that the movie is bringing back horror elements.
Some fans had held out hope that the original Dilophosaurus was only a juvenile because, in the novel and the real world, the Dilophosaurus was a massive carnivore. The ones seen in the movies are only a third of the size they are supposed to be. However, what makes up for it is their signature frills and venom-spitting, which makes them terrifying, even though there is no evidence of these dinos displaying either feature in paleontology.
4Tyrannosaurus Rex
It’s Just Not The Jurassic Saga Without A T-Rex
Considering that theTyrannosaurus Rexis the symbol of almost every singleJurassicSaga movie and show sinceSteven Spielberg first established RexyinJurassic Park, it would be criminal not to feature at least one of them inJurassic World Rebirth. It is not the iconic T-Rex, known as Rexy among fans, as it features a different pattern, colors, size, and a lack of the scarring that Rexy is known for.
However, fans of the originalJurassic Parknovel are excited about this T-Rex. The trailer shows thatJurassic World Rebirthwill feature a sequence where the T-Rex chases the heroes down a river. It was going to be a sequence in the first movie but never got made, and it is tradition thatJurassicSaga movies reuse scrapped ideas from past films.
3Spinosaurus
The Comeback That Jurassic Park 3 Fans Deserve
Despite a controversial battle with a T-Rex inJurassic Park 3, theSpinosaurusis still a beloved dinosaur. InJurassic World Rebirth, not only one, but three Spinosaurs are working in a pack to defend a Mosasaur, showing that they arestill as much of a danger in the wateras they are on land. The Spinosaurs have new designs inJurassic World Rebirth, with faces closer in design to the Baryonyx and a more angular fin on their backs.
The reason for the changes is because, in canon material, it was explained that the Spinosaurus seen inJurassic Park 3was a failed first attempt at hybridization. This explanation was given as a result of real-world paleontologists discovering more about Spinosaurus over the years, resulting in theJurassic Park 3version becoming outdated.
2Mosasaur
A Mysterious Marine Reptile Is Working With Spinosaurs
The marine reptile that seemingly becomes the characters’ objective is aMosasaur, which is being aided by the Spinosaurus pack. It is unclear as to which member of the Mosasaur family it is, since it is smaller than the Mosasaurus fromJurassic Worldand features a shark-like tailfin that protrudes out of the water, whereas the Mosasaurus had a more crocodilian tail.
While it could be another case of a change in design, the shape of the snout combined with the fin could be a hint that the Mosasaur is actually aTylosaurus. This creature was first introducedin theJurassic Parkvideo game,Jurassic Park: The Game,and the design seen in the trailer looks closer to how the Tylosaurus was designed inJurassic World Evolution 2.
1Mutated Dinosaur
The Island Was The Testing Grounds For Jurassic Park
No official name has been given to the strangemutated dinosaurseen in the trailer, but fans have already nicknamed it the D-Rex. It walks on four legs and features a bulbous head with a small mouth full of sharp teeth. Since the island featured in the movie is said to be a testing facility for the originalJurassic Park, there is a chance that the mutant might be a failed older sister of Rexy.
Gareth Edwards has come out and stated that the inspiration for the mutated dinosaur is the Rancor fromStar Warsand the deadlyXenomorph from theAlienfranchisemixed with a T-Rex. The visual similarities to the Rancor are noticeable, but fans are interested in seeing what the Xenomorph qualities are when the movie comes out later in 2025.
