The fourth movie in theJurassic Worldseries is making fans wonder whyJurassic World Rebirthis keeping “World” in its title if its meant to be a “Rebirth” of the storied franchise. Directed by Gareth Edwards and penned byJurassic Park’s David Koepp,Jurassic World Rebirthseems keen on fusing the familiar with the new. Aside fromRogue One: A Star Wars Story, Edwards infusedGodzillawith new life, while Koepp’s credits include not just the originalJurassic Parkmovies, but other action-adventure classics likeMission: Impossibleand contemporary sequels likeIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
The actors playingJurassic World Rebirth’s cast of charactersare also changing, with Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey set to lead the film. Set five years after the events of 2022’sJurassic World Dominion,Rebirth’s dinosaurs are struggling to find hospitable climates, with most migrating toward tropical regions that resemble their past climes. Unfortunately, another complication arises when it becomes clear that some of the ancient creatures hold the key to a life-saving drug. While many of theJurassic Parkfranchise’s core themes remain, the fresh plot suggests a shift from the coreJurassic Worldtrilogy’s feel.
Rebranding The Jurassic Franchise For A Second Time Could Be Too Difficult
The Movie Franchise Has Already Gone From Jurassic Park To Jurassic World
With the reveal that the nextJurassic Parkmovie will carry on the “World” mantle, it seems thatJurassic World Dominion’s biggest failure was lyingabout it being the franchise’s final installment. At the same time, it’s completely reasonable that the latestJurassicfranchise installment would want to avoid another total rebrand. When the firstJurassic Worldmovie came onto the scene, changing the storied franchise’s name — “Park” was, of course, dropped entirely — was a bit of a hurdle. Like most reboots,theJurassic Worldmoniker also indicated that the new movies would be bigger and better.
Given the “Park” to “World” jump, another reframe would have to go even bigger in terms of stakes and scope.
Not only is it a little unnecessary to rebrand theJurassicfranchise again — and get long-time viewers on board with another shift — it’s also difficult to imagine where the franchise’s titles would go next. Given the “Park” to “World” jump, another reframe would have to go even bigger in terms of stakes and scope. Unfortunately,something like “Jurassic Universe” just sounds like a bad theme park ride. That said,Jurassic World Rebirth’s title suggests some alterations, all while establishing some continuity between its story and the more recentJurassictrilogy.
