Jurassic World Rebirth is now available to rent or buy on Digital, and Universal (via THR) has officially released one of the deleted scenes online.
The scene features the return of arguably the franchise's most popular dinosaur, the Velociraptor, as a group of the lethal reptiles approach the movie's protagonists. When Rupert Friend's villain raises his gun, the Raptors retreat ("you better run"), but they are actually fleeing from the approaching Distortus Rex.
Setting aside the fact that the sequence features one of the most overused "jokes" in the history of cinema, many fans are unhappy about the Raptors being utilized this way - for a scene that doesn't even appear in the theatrical version of the movie.
Have a look at the scene below, along with an alternate opening, and let us know what you think.
Here's the official press release (via Universal).
Universal City, California, August 4, 2025 – YOUR HOME. THEIR WORLD. After a record-breaking box office debut, JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is now available to own or rent for the first time exclusively on Digital platforms tomorrow, and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD September 9, 2025, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Amblin Entertainment. **JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is “a blockbuster thrill ride you won’t want to miss” (Comic Book Movie) **that features spectacular dinosaur action “anchored by stakes with genuine depth” (SCREENRANT). Audiences can now go even deeper with over one hour of exclusive content when you buy, including never-before-seen deleted scenes with extra dinosaur mayhem, an alternate opening, a long-form making-of documentary detailing the film’s jaw-dropping visuals and sound design, and much more.
Although the movie was marketed as a new beginning for the franchise, it was far from a full reboot, and after Rebirth's box office success, it wouldn't exactly be a surprise if the studio had its eye on a direct sequel with the same cast and director.
Scooper MTTSH recently reported that a follow-up is in the early planning stages, with Gareth Edwards and Scarlett Johansson likely to return.

FEATURE COMMENTARY WITH DIRECTOR GARETH EDWARDS, PRODUCTION DESIGNER JAMES CLYNE, AND FIRST ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JACK RAVENSCROFT
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.
Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein. Edwards directs from a script by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
