Jurassic World Rebirth could be setting up an entirely new chapter for the iconic franchise.
The film, which hit theaters on Wednesday, July 2, takes place five years after the events of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion. Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a cover operations specialist who is contracted to lead a secret mission to obtain life-saving genetic material from the three biggest living creatures on earth (that are, you guessed it, dinosaurs). The mission ends up even more complicated than expected when she and her team encounter the Delgado’s, a civilian family who have been stranded on the island of dinosaur rejects.
The other main players in Zora’s squad? Mahershala Ali’s’ Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s old friend looking for a new sense of purpose, and Jonathan Bailey’s Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist and former student of the legendary Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill). Rupert Friend also makes the journey as Martin Krebs, a rep for pharmaceutical giant ParkerGenix looking to cure heart disease with the help of dino-DNA.
Screenwriter David Koepp, who penned the original Jurassic Park screenplay — as well as 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park — returned to write the script for Rebirth after previously declining to write the first Jurassic World film.

But what happens at the end of Rebirth? Keep scrolling for the end of the movie explained, but warning,spoilers below:
Does ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Have a Post Credits Scene?
No, there are no post credits scenes in the film. But you should still stay until all the credits roll. It’s proper etiquette!
Does ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Set Up for a Sequel?
Rebirth does not directly set up for a sequel and could potentially stand on its own, but there are a few hints that another movie is on its way. All three leads — Johansson, Bailey and Ali — survive the film. Johansson’s Zora also reveals her plans to open-source the DNA samples her team has acquired from three dinos (one by land, one by sea, one by sky) to “everyone.” Anyone who has ever seen a Jurassic movie can immediately understand how this (terrible) decision could set up the next film’s main disaster.
Who Dies at the End of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’?
Not anyone important, really, which is good news. Zora, Henry and Duncan all make it out alive (somehow), as does the second major group of the film, the Delgado family (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, Audrina Miranda and David Iacono.)
However, while Zora makes it to the end, some of her supporting team is not so lucky. Bobby (Ed Skrein) faces death by boat trip, Nina (Philippine Velge) loses her fight to a Spinosaurus on the beach and Leclerc (Bechir Sylvain) gets swallowed whole.
Scarlett Johansson Teases ‘Jurassic World’ Script Is ‘Incredible’
Don’t worry, bad guys die too. Mr. Krebs gets so brutally chomped by the D-rex (a.k.a Diabolus Rex, a monstrously genetically altered dino of your nightmares) after turning on our group of heros, only his arm is left behind. Luckily, it’s the arm that was holding the briefcase filled with DNA!
