In the forthcoming Jurassic World Rebirth, viewers will embark on a journey to the past—figuratively speaking. In this installment, Dr. Zora Bennett (played by Scarlett Johansson) and her team set out to explore the original Jurassic Park manufacturing site. This location is neither Isla Nublar nor Isla Sorna, but a completely new setting.
Photographs from Thailand showcase the distinctive landscape, affirming that this film presents a fresh and original concept. Additionally, the central feature of the movie is drawing significant attention.
For those who may not know, Rebirth stays true to its origins by presenting yet another fearsome genetic creation to the series, but this time, the writers have truly pushed the boundaries with their ultimate alpha predator.
So far, the teaser have revealed several hints regarding the main antagonist. Notably, its foundational inspirations draw from Ridley Scott’s Xenomorphs, the Rancor from Star Wars, and Spielberg’s Tyrannosaurus Rex. Yet, there is much more to discover about this new land predator.
Recent revelations indicate that the “D-Rex,” also referred to as Diabolos Rex in online discussions, possesses the ability to breathe fire. This characteristic has no counterpart in the animal kingdom, leading to a singular conclusion: InGen intentionally designed the D-Rex with this unique feature.
The bioengineering researchers’ decision to splice DNA in order to give the Diabolos Rex its unique trait raises serious ethical concerns. It’s unlikely that such a dramatic leap from filling in gaps in the helix strands to creating a fire-breathing creature happened by chance.
Moreover, InGen scientists would have needed to conduct extensive research into DNA profiles to identify anything that could even remotely resemble the ability to breathe fire.
The Bombardier Beetle is the only example that comes to mind, but its fiery defense mechanism is simply a chemical reaction. The dragon-like capability to incinerate the environment must have been the result of deliberate scientific manipulation.
The Diabolos Rex may not seem overly concerning at first glance due to the clear restrictions on its capabilities, yet the potential consequences are quite troubling. It’s highly probable that InGen’s initial experiments didn’t start with fire-breathing creatures, and it’s unlikely they halted their innovations there.
Scientists typically don’t achieve a significant breakthrough and then simply stop. Jurassic World serves as a prime illustration of a biotechnology company exploring new frontiers in a different capacity.
In their effort to militarize Grady’s velociraptors, the science division was once more relying on the belief that they could instill loyalty and obedience in future generations. The events of Fallen Kingdom demonstrated that this was indeed possible with the development of the Indoraptor.
Observing InGen’s initial moves in Rebirth will be particularly fascinating, as these genetic alterations reveal the corporation’s earlier ambitions, which predate their focus on refined theme-park attractions—some of which may be unsettling to uncover.
Once more, while minor elements like fire-breathing may seem trivial, viewers can expect to encounter even more bizarre creatures when Rebirth hits theaters. It’s possible that the film will celebrate the strange anomalies found in nature.
Who’s to say that InGen scientists didn’t push the boundaries of experimentation, leading to some extraordinary genetic mutations? Just picture the sheer terror of a two-headed velociraptor equipped with a 360-degree field of vision. However, this remains to be seen.
What’s intriguing is the potential for a deeper backstory surrounding the narrative of scientific experimentation. The upcoming film, Rebirth, will have limited time to delve into flashbacks, which opens up a unique opportunity for Universal Pictures to develop a future franchise installment set in the past.
Fans are eager to witness the origins of John Hammond (played by Richard Attenborough) and Benjamin Lockwood (portrayed by James Cromwell) as they established their company. Seeing a younger version of these characters strategizing and maneuvering behind the scenes to secure the necessary approvals for Jurassic Park would be captivating, especially considering they likely didn’t succeed on their first try.
It’s probable that they resorted to questionable methods to achieve their goals. The Michael Crichton novels hint at InGen engaging in payoffs during incidents of injury or death—an all-too-common strategy employed by corporations looking to conceal the truth.
Jurassic World Rebirth certainly has the potential for spin-offs. If the film suggests that other human characters experienced similar journeys at the coastal InGen facility, it paves the way for sequels. Imagine the world of Jurassic Park just before the chaos ensued.
The Lockwoods, Dr. Wu, and many others each have their own narratives to tell. Additionally, think about the scientists who were part of the facility prior to Site A; they too had rich lives that could be fascinating to delve into in a future film. Jurassic World Rebirth is set to hit theaters on July 2, 2025.
