London: The stars of Jurassic World: Rebirth lit up the red carpet at the world premiere held at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Tuesday night. Leading the charge were Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, whose glamorous appearances and affectionate chemistry stole the show ahead of the film’s July 2 release.
A Dazzling Red Carpet Moment
Scarlett Johansson, making her Jurassic franchise debut as elite ops specialist Zora Bennett, wowed the crowd in a shimmering pink sequined gown by Vivienne Westwood. The actress was all smiles as she reunited with her co-star Jonathan Bailey, who portrays dino-genetics expert Dr. Henry Loomis. Bailey turned heads in a casual brown blazer, open denim shirt, white trousers — and surprisingly, flip-flops, sparking a viral moment on social media.
The pair embraced warmly and shared a playful kiss on the lips, drawing cheers from fans and fueling excitement over their on-screen dynamic.
Star-Studded Support
Also attending the London premiere were fellow cast members Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, and director Gareth Edwards. Edwards, known for Rogue One and Godzilla, described the event as a surreal moment after months of intensive filming. “It’s a dream to premiere here with a cast this incredible,” he told reporters.
The Plot: Return to the Island
Jurassic World: Rebirth follows a covert mission to a remote island once home to the original Jurassic Park. The story centers on an elite team sent to retrieve DNA from three unique dinosaur species, believed to hold the key to a revolutionary medical breakthrough. But as expected in the Jurassic universe, nature doesn’t play along.
The film is the seventh in the franchise and marks a fresh narrative start, written by original Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp. It blends the high-octane tension of earlier entries with a new cast and a grounded, character-driven story.
The Verdict So Far
Early buzz from attendees and fans who viewed preview clips suggests that Rebirth could be the most intense installment since Jurassic Park (1993). Scarlett Johansson’s debut in the dinosaur-filled saga and Jonathan Bailey’s compelling presence offer a modern twist on a classic formula.
Social media has been abuzz with images and videos from the premiere, especially Johansson and Bailey’s playful red carpet moment, which many fans have called “iconic” and “a preview of their chemistry to come.”
Jurassic World: Rebirth hits theaters July 2, 2025, just in time for the summer box office rush and the U.S. Fourth of July weekend.
