50 free Jurassic World Rebirth trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Jurassic World Rebirth wiped the slate clean in 2025 with a new cast, a new island and a six-limbed monster in the basement, and this quiz covers all of it: the 2008 InGen breakout, ParkerGenix's heart-drug mission, the Mosasaurus capsizing the Delgados' sailboat, the Titanosaurus meadow, the Quetzalcoatlus temple, the raft chase lifted straight from Michael Crichton's novel and the tunnels beneath the lab. Early questions suit anyone who has seen it: who plays Zora, which three animals the samples come from, what Isabella names her Aquilops. Later ones get into how it was made: the Spielberg idea that started it, why Koepp said yes this time, the working title, the film stock, the Thai national parks that played the island, the Duncan death that was shot both ways, and how the D. rex ended up looking like a xenomorph. Every answer has been checked against production reporting and the film's own record, and each question links to its source. Our Jurassic Park trivia covers the whole franchise; this page is for Rebirth.

Q 01Who directed Jurassic World Rebirth?
Gareth Edwards
He was 'more shooter than auteur' by design, hired for the visual style of Godzilla and The Creator, and had under 18 months to deliver.
Q 02Which screenwriter of the original Jurassic Park returned to write Rebirth?
David Koepp
He had turned down earlier sequels, believing he had nothing left to add, until Spielberg brought him a story idea.
Q 03What is the name of the island where the abandoned InGen lab sits?
Île Saint-Hubert
It is in the Atlantic, on the equator, where the last viable dinosaur climate remains.
Q 04What is the Distortus rex?
A six-limbed mutant Tyrannosaurus
Its 2008 escape empties the island; its design borrows from the Alien xenomorph and the Star Wars rancor, with gorilla-like arms at Edwards's suggestion.
Q 05Why is the expedition collecting dinosaur samples?
For a new heart-disease treatment
Koepp read that large dinosaurs had remarkably low rates of heart disease; Colossal Biosciences' Ben Lamm called the premise realistic.
Q 06Which pharmaceutical company is behind the mission?
ParkerGenix
Its executive Martin Krebs, played by Rupert Friend, ends up eaten by the D. rex after fleeing with the samples.
Q 07Which three creatures must the team sample?
Mosasaurus, Titanosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus
One aquatic, one terrestrial, one avian; the last sample is amniotic fluid taken from a Quetzalcoatlus egg.
Q 08Who plays Zora Bennett?
Scarlett Johansson
She had pitched Spielberg herself about joining the franchise; Jennifer Lawrence turned the role down.
Q 09Who plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis?
Jonathan Bailey
Universal executives suggested him after Wicked; Glen Powell reportedly turned the part down.
Q 10Which Oscar-winner plays Duncan Kincaid, the team leader recruited in Suriname?
Mahershala Ali
Duncan was written to die; Universal wanted him to live, and a survival scene shot as insurance ended up in the film.
Q 11What capsizes the Delgado family's sailboat?
A Mosasaurus
The rescue splits the mission team's loyalties; Krebs wants to leave them.
Q 12Which returning dinosaur, last seen in Jurassic Park III, hunts in a pack during the ship attack?
Spinosaurus
It was redesigned as semi-aquatic to reflect new research, with webbed feet and a broad tail modelled on crocodiles and grizzlies.
Q 13Where is the Quetzalcoatlus nest the team must rappel down to?
Inside an ancient cave temple
Koepp wrote it as a cliff; Edwards moved it into an abandoned temple. LeClerc is eaten there.
Q 21What was the film's working title?
Saga
Principal photography began in Thailand on June 13, 2024, and wrapped September 27.
Q 22Which country stood in for the fictional island, at Edwards's suggestion?
Thailand
Costa Rica had been the front-runner; Edwards had just shot The Creator in Thailand and Spielberg approved immediately.
Q 23What format did Edwards shoot on, a first for him, to echo the 1993 original?
35mm film
Kodak Vision3 stock had to be shipped to England for processing, a nervous five-day wait each time.
Where were the boat-attack sequences at sea filmed?
Q 14What are Mutadons?
Raptor-pterosaur hybrids
Koepp was inspired by a bat on his porch; ILM spent nine months on the design, trying versions with multiple heads.
Q 15What does Isabella name the little Aquilops she adopts?
Dolores
Three 18-inch animatronics were built for it, using 3D-printed parts to keep them light.
Q 16The river-raft chase from a T. rex was lifted from where?
Crichton's first novel, cut from the 1993 film
Koepp reread both Crichton books for the first time in nearly 30 years and also used a monologue and an unused Ian Malcolm line.
Q 17How does the youngest Delgado, Isabella, save everyone at the locked gate?
She squeezes through the bars to unlock it
Duncan then draws off the D. rex with a flare so the boat can launch.
Q 18What do Zora and Henry decide to do with the samples at the end?
Release them as an open-source resource
That guarantees global access to the heart drug rather than a corporate monopoly.
Q 19What is notable about the cast of Rebirth within the franchise?
It is the first film with no returning actors
Koepp said the first two trilogies had finished their stories, so 'let's have all-new characters in an all-new location'.
Q 20Which director turned down Rebirth to make The Running Man instead?
Edgar Wright
David Leitch was also briefly in talks, but there was too little room for his creative input.
Malta Film Studios in Kalkara
Boats sat on hydraulic gimbals in tanks; Johansson called it 'brutal', baking 30 feet up while water cannons fired.
Q 25Which Indian waterfall was composited into the temple cliff scene?
Jog Falls in Karnataka
A 70-foot cliff wall was built at Sky Studios Elstree for the rappel.
Q 26Where was the second half of the T. rex river chase shot?
Lee Valley White Water Centre
The opening of the chase was shot at a flooded quarry in Thailand; the Olympic canoe course finished it.
Q 27Why did the Titanosaurus meadow scene need a horticulturist from England?
A drought stopped the tall grass growing
An irrigation system solved it; an elephant was walked through the grass as a scale reference for the CGI artists.
Q 28Why did Edwards leave feathered dinosaurs out?
He thought they looked like big chickens
Dominion had introduced feathers; ILM's David Vickery relayed Edwards's reasoning.
Q 29Which 1969 film influenced the redesign of Rebirth's T. rex?
The Valley of Gwangi
ILM described the new animal as 'healthier, heavier, more muscular, more bull-like'.
Q 30How many visual effects shots does Rebirth contain, a franchise record?
1,515
ILM did more than 1,000 of them, with Important Looking Pirates and Midas among the others.
