For decades, the Jurassic Park franchise has brought prehistoric creatures to roaring life on the big screen. From the fierce Velociraptors to the gargantuan Mosasaurus, each film has pushed the boundaries of imagination.
But now, with Jurassic World Rebirth, fans may finally see one of the most legendary prehistoric creatures take center stage: the Megalodon.
The upcoming sequel, directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, features Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, a covert specialist tasked with collecting DNA from the largest creatures across land, sea, and air.
Filming locations like the advanced underwater tanks at Malta Film Studios strongly hint at aquatic action like never before. Now, a production image showing a massive Megalodon jaw fossil has fueled theories that this giant shark could appear in the upcoming film.
Check out the image below on X (Twitter) re-posted by the Jurassic fan channel Evolution Square:
I’ve had some sleep I still think my theory is possible I do need to clarify: I don’t necessarily think we’ll see a living Meg in Jurassic World Rebirth; the jaws would tease that extinct Cenozoics are back and we might see others (like big snek) appear on “the island”.
to 3 AM Evo, this theory, as crazy as it is… seems pretty legit.
