<em>Jurassic World Rebirth</em> is set to compete head-to-head with both Marvel and DC superhero films in 2025, and expectations are high for this latest installment in the Jurassic Park franchise. Despite the mixed reviews for Jurassic World Dominion, which holds the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score among its predecessors, the film still achieved remarkable financial success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide. This impressive box office performance demonstrates the enduring popularity of the franchise, making the announcement of a new Jurassic World film both anticipated and unsurprising.

The upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth serves as a direct sequel to Dominion, while also marking the beginning of a fresh narrative arc for the franchise. With a title that suggests a new direction and a completely new cast, Jurassic World Rebirth aims to rejuvenate interest in the series. Given the iconic status of the Jurassic Park/World intellectual property and the solid box office results from the previous three films, Jurassic World Rebirth is poised to be a major success for Universal Pictures, even as it faces strong competition from two eagerly awaited superhero films.

Jurassic World Rebirth Competes With Superman & Fantastic Four in July 2025

Jurassic World Rebirth Set to Premiere on July 2, 2025

At the time of writing, Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are all slated for release in July 2025. James Gunn’s Superman, originally titled Superman: Legacy, will debut on July 11, 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the DC Universe (DCU). This film is particularly significant as it represents the first solo Superman feature since the 2013 film Man of Steel, and it is expected to lay the groundwork for the future of DC Studios’ film and television projects. Given the extensive cinematic universe being developed, Superman is undeniably one of the most critical releases for DC in recent years.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, premiering on July 25, 2025, is a highly anticipated installment for its franchise. Not only will this film be the first Fantastic Four movie produced by Marvel Studios and thus integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but it will also directly connect to Marvel’s future plans, particularly regarding the upcoming Avengers films. The Fantastic Four hold a significant place in Marvel’s legacy, and their debut in the MCU has generated considerable excitement. Nevertheless, Jurassic World Rebirth is well-positioned to be the box office leader next summer.

Reasons Why Jurassic World 4 Is Likely to Outperform Superman & Fantastic Four

Jurassic World Is a Stronger Movie Franchise Than Superman and Fantastic Four

The remarkable achievement of Dominion grossing $1 billion globally, despite its poor reviews, underscores the incredible strength of the Jurassic franchise. With Jurassic World Rebirth heralding a new chapter for the series, featuring a captivating cast that includes Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, there is every reason to expect that it too will achieve blockbuster status. The historical performance of previous films like The Lost World and Dominion illustrates that even entries that received mixed reviews tend to perform remarkably well at the box office.

Superman and Fantastic Four, in contrast, will need to demonstrate their worth to audiences. While Superman is among the world’s most beloved superheroes, it has not yet established itself as a cinematic franchise comparable to Batman. Similarly, the Fantastic Four are icons in the Marvel universe, yet they have struggled to achieve critical acclaim, with the 2015 reboot being particularly disastrous both critically and financially. Additionally, the prevalence of superhero fatigue adds another layer of challenge for these titles. This context positions Jurassic World Rebirth as a more reliable choice for box office success next summer.
