Does the new Jurassic World Rebirth include an end credits scene? Explained in depth

If you’re sticking around after Jurassic World Rebirth hoping for a surprise scene tucked into the credits, don’t bother holding your breath or your popcorn. Unlike the Marvel playbook, this one keeps it old school. The film doesn't have any scene post its credits and ends the film exactly after the final scene.

Jurassic World Rebirth doesn't set up a sequel or depend much on any other prequel to make the story more sensible. Edwards talked about how the film's speedy production process was one of the reasons behind this decision, as he told Indie Wire,

“Usually you get at least two-and-a-half years from the day they call you, to the day you finish the movie...I think you can change the machine, and do things differently, but there’s a limit when you’ve got a really limited timeframe with three months pre-production, getting everyone on the same page to reinvent the process massively is not possible."

He added,

“I think I’ve always feel that the process is as important as the thing you’re making the product. The way you make a film is to me so fundamental, and obviously doing this movie, [we had to do that]. I said to the studio when we started, ‘We’ve got three months, we cannot make a mini version of this film in pre-viz, we haven’t got time.'

"But, then we had virtual cameras, it’s like there’s a little volume space and they set it up in the office and essentially you could see in real time, an Unreal Engine version of your ship and the [dinosaur].”

More details about Jurassic World Rebirth

Jurassic World Rebirth returns the franchise to its glory, with fresh faces, a tighter storyline, and bigger beasts that bring back the dinosaur fever on screen.

The film stars Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, a seasoned mercenary leading a covert mission alongside Mahershala Ali’s Duncan Kincaid and Jonathan Bailey’s Dr. Henry Loomis. The ensemble is rounded out by Rupert Friend, Ed Skrein, Luna Blaise, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Audrina Miranda. Their mission? Travel to the remote Ile Saint-Hubert to retrieve DNA from the world’s last surviving land, sea, and air dinosaurs in hopes of developing a revolutionary medical treatment.

Their mission sounds noble, harvesting dinosaur DNA for medical research, but things, of course, spiral into survival horror when they come face-to-face with mutated predators and ethical landmines. Edwards leans into Spielberg-style tension by shooting on 35mm and favoring practical effects wherever possible.

Jurassic World Rebirth was made on a budget of $180 million and earned $30.5M on its opening day. Projections for the film look pretty ambitious, and with the star cast and Edwards' cinematic prowess, it might just reach a few milestones.

In a franchise often bloated with spectacle, Jurassic World Rebirth finds power in restraint. It trades bombast for suspense, noise for silence, and reminds us that dinosaurs will always, always be welcome at the cinema.
