Jurassic World Rebirth, the upcoming seventh movie of the 32-year-old Jurassic Park franchise, is releasing on July 2, 2025. The movie will be starring Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow actress Scarlett Johansson as a covert operation expert, Zora Bennett, and Mahershala Ali as her team leader Duncan Kincaid. There is a time jump between Jurassic World Dominion and Rebirth.

Rebirth will follow a team consisting of Zora, Duncan, Dr. Henry Loomis (played by actor Jonathan Bailey), and many more, exploring a dinosaur island to retrieve dino DNA that could help in creating a life-saving drug. The synopsis for Jurassic World Rebirth reads:

"Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, 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 three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind."

While July is still nearly three months away, some are wondering about the order of the Jurassic movies so that they are prepared for the release of Jurassic World Rebirth.


Here is how you watch the Jurassic movies in order before Jurassic World Rebirth releases:

The list below is the chronological arrangement of the Jurassic movies that you could watch before Jurassic World Rebirth releases on July 2, 2025:

1. Jurassic Park (1993): Available on Hulu

The first and the most iconic movie of the franchise was a groundbreaking movie for its usage of computer graphics. The plot closely follows the 1990 book of the same name by Michael Crichton, in which dinosaurs walk the Earth again through the process of cloning. They were cloned for a wildlife park at the fictional island of Isla Nublar by John Hammond.

To bring legitimacy to the park, Hammond brings in two dinosaur experts, paleontologist Alan Grant and paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, and chaotician/mathematician Ian Malcolm as visitors. However, the power shuts down, causing the dinosaurs to breach the barriers, endangering the visitors, that also includes Hammond's grandchildren.

2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997): Available on Hulu

The time jump between the first movie and The Lost World, which is the second movie in the franchise, is the same as the time between the release dates, i.e., four years. Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler sit this one out, but Richard Attenborough’s John Hammond and Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm return for this one. Julianne Moore as Sarah Harding, paleontologist, is the new addition to this movie.

The movie is set on another island, Isla Sorna, that also served as a dinosaur cloning site but was later abandoned. Thus, the dinosaurs of this island might be more dangerous than the ones in Isla Nublar.

3. Jurassic Park III (2001): Available on Hulu

This is the last movie in the "Jurassic Park" franchise as the ones after this replace "Park" with "World", including Jurassic World Rebirth. The movie begins with a boy going missing on Isla Sorna. Some days later, a wealthy couple approaches Dr. Alan Grant, played by Sam Neill, to take them on an aerial tour over Isla Sorna. But an accident reveals the truth that the couple are the missing boy's parents, attempting to rescue him.

4. Jurassic World (2015): Available on Hulu

The Indominus rex, a genetically modified dinosaur, escapes captivity, endangering the visitors.

The first animated project in the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, is connected to Jurassic World (2015). The show's storylines are set before, during, and after the events of the 2015 movie. Camp Cretaceous follows a group of kids who are stranded on Isla Nublar.

6. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018): Available on Hulu

Fallen Kingdom, the second movie in the Jurassic World trilogy, attempts to build upon the themes from the 2015 movie: the consequences of exploiting dinosaurs for profit. Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm 31 years after The Lost World (1997). Claire, now a dino activist, along with Owen, tries to save the lives of dinosaurs at Isla Nublar from a volcanic eruption. In her attempt, she is also supported by Ben Lockwood, John Hammond's former business partner.

"It's been three years since theme park and luxury resort, Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles. When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event."

7. Battle at Big Rock (2019): Short Film available on YouTube

"The Camp Cretaceous gang comes together to unravel a mystery when they discover a global conspiracy that brings danger to dinosaurs — and to themselves."

This short was originally intended to be the opening sequence of Jurassic World Dominion. But later, it was made into an IMAX preview, and later released online as a short film. The basic hook of the short is that it begins 65 million years at past, and then cuts to the present.

"This original 5 min prologue to Jurassic World Dominion, directed by Colin Trevorrow, rockets audiences back 65 million years into the past to experience the world before humans existed—and offers a glimpse of a world in which dinosaurs are living among us."

"Two worlds collide as the epic saga that began with Jurassic Park comes full circle in Jurassic World Dominion. Four years after Isla Nublar's destruction, dinosaurs roam the Earth again. Facing the cataclysmic consequences of a planet once again dominated by prehistoric predators, two generations of Jurassic heroes unite as doctors Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and Alan Grant (Sam Neill) return to join Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) for an incredible adventure that will determine the destiny of humans and dinosaurs once and for all."
