Jurassic World Rebirth has made significant changes to the iconic T-Rex, and in this article, we explore those transformations and the creative decisions behind them.
ComingSoon is unveiling an exclusive look at one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes from the upcoming home release of Jurassic World Rebirth, now available digitally from participating retailers.
How Did Jurassic World Rebirth Change the T-Rex’s Look?
In the clip from the behind-the-scenes featurette “Hatching a New Era,” Visual Effects Supervisor and 2nd Unit Director David Vickery discusses the changes made to the iconic dinosaur. Since the T-Rex in Jurassic World Rebirth differs from those in previous “Jurassic” films, it has been simplified slightly.
According to Gareth Edwards, the T-Rex in Jurassic World Rebirth features additional scales around its teeth and a more “simplistic” appearance, reflecting scientific beliefs about the actual appearance of T-Rex. The featurette also reveals how they executed the thrilling scene of the T-Rex pursuing a group through a river.

In a perilous terrain, they will uncover a shocking discovery hidden for years.”
