Rumored Plot Synopsis for ‘Jurassic World 4’ Reportedly Revealed

A rumored plot synopsis for Jurassic World 4 (2025) has allegedly been leaked online.

Following the critical reception of the last two films in the Jurassic series, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022), it makes sense that Universal Pictures is going back to the creative drawing board for future storytelling.

While Jurassic World 4 is keeping plot details close to its chest, what we do know so far suggests that the film is taking a more “back-to-basics” approach than its two predecessors, both of which took the long-running series in an unexpected direction.

The idea of dinosaurs escaping into the wild and populating the human world was an intriguing one to say the least. And when the credits rolled on Fallen Kingdom following that epic cliffhanger, fans couldn’t wait to see the final chapter in the Jurassic World trilogy.

Unfortunately, while Dominion has plenty of merits like its 2018 predecessor, its lack of focus on dinosaurs living among humans became a major talking point — and not in a good way. Still, Fallen Kingdom and Dominion each grossed over $1B worldwide.

So, naturally, a sequel was inevitable. Now, Jurassic World 4 is officially in production, with Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) star Scarlett Johansson leading a new cast, and director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Creator) at the helm.

As for the plot, all we’ve been given is the following logline, per Variety: “A completely fresh take launching a new Jurassic era” in which “three adults and three teens [get] stuck on the island.” Rumors, however, suggest that the film will be titled Jurassic City and will revolve around “human-dino hybrids.”

Jurassic World 4 Rumored Plot

Now, the Jurassic fan page on X (Twitter) Jurassic_World_Fandom/@Brycenator100 claims to have acquired the unofficial synopsis for Jurassic World 4 via some sort of leak.

Before we dive in, it’s worth noting that this page is not a credible source. However, there are clues throughout this synopsis that overlap with information we know to be 100% true.

Read it below (edited for clarity):

POTENTIAL SPOILERS:

The plot of Jurassic World 4 revolves around a rescue mission between a group of soldiers (Scarlett and Bailey) attempting to locate a group of tourists who got trapped on the island near Suriname after their tour went wrong. The dino tour is similar to JP3 as it is illegal and secret.

You have to register at a sketchy bar. A criminal syndicate organizes the tours which they use to help launder money and recycle it into the black market. The plot is about an investigation of the crime syndicate and the island after some tourists go missing from their tour along with their helicopter.

However the twist is that they find all of the tourists are already dead. Chaos ensues and a lot of the soldiers die à la The Suicide Squad (2021) as they attempt to escape from the island.

Let’s break down this alleged synopsis and compare it against details that have been confirmed in recent weeks.

So, according to this supposed “leak,” the film is said to revolve “around a rescue mission between a group of soldiers (Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey) attempting to locate a group of tourists who got trapped on the island near Suriname after their tour went wrong.”

Now, we know from Jurassic World 4‘s official logline that it will follow “three adults and three teens getting stuck on the island.” Are Johansson and Bailey playing two of those three adults, along with one of the other confirmed adult actors as the third, perhaps Rupert Friend or Mahershala Ali?

Then there’s the alleged setting, Suriname, a country located in South America.

In the past, Hawaii has doubled for the fictitious Costa Rican islands, Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna/Site B, in the Jurassic films. However, Jurassic World 4 is currently shooting on location in Thailand, whose tropical jungles looks a lot like Suriname.

It’s also worth pointing out that the remnants of ancient civilizations can be found throughout this South American country.

One of many set photos shared by @reelnewshawaii on X (Twitter), which has been documenting the film’s on-location shoot in Thailand for some weeks, feature ancient ruins built for the film. The ones below show a prop built at Huay To Waterfall within the Khao Phanom Bencha National Park in Krabi:

The alleged synopsis goes on to say that “a criminal syndicate” organizes illegal dinosaur tours to an unspecified island “which they use to help launder money and recycle it into the black market,” adding that the film is about an investigation into this organization after “some tourists go missing from their tour along with their helicopter.”

It also says that tourists must “register” for the tour “at a sketchy bar.”

There are a number of interesting points here that tie in with confirmed details.

First of all, there’s the “sketchy bar”. We’re not suggesting that the below bar which is being used in the film is “sketchy”, however, it does look like it could double as such a location:

As for that helicopter going missing, check out another tweet below from @reelnewshawaii:

Ah, so it wasn’t a plane crash after all.

And, as for tourists who “go missing from their tour along with their helicopter,” going back to that official logline, which states that the film follows “three adults and three teens”, could those three teens, who will most likely be played by confirmed actors Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, be the surviving members of the tour group?

The end of the alleged synopsis doesn’t give us much, as it says that Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey’s characters “find all of the tourists are already dead” and that “chaos ensues” as they “attempt to escape from the island.”

The alleged synopsis also draws comparisons with Jurassic Park III, not in the sense that the 2001 sequel revolves around a rescue mission, but rather the concept of illegal dinosaur tours. “The dino tour is similar to JP3 as it is illegal and secret,” it says.

If this synopsis does turn out to be true — or, that, at the very least, the illegal dinosaur tours element does — then it makes us wonder when exactly the film is set in conjunction with previous Jurassic Park/Jurassic World installments.

So far, Universal Pictures has yet to confirm when the new film takes place. Of course, the working title, Jurassic World 4, indicates that it follows the latest sequel, Jurassic World Dominion, but nothing has been confirmed either way.

As such, for all we know, the film could take place between any of the previous movies.

Jurassic World 4 is being directed by Gareth Edwards with a screenplay by David Koepp. Steven Spielberg, director of the first two films, returns as executive producer.

The film will be released in theaters on July 2, 2025.
