There’s no question that July entertainment watchlist kicks off the heart of a blockbuster summer. As people head out on vacation or choose more affordable entertainment options, movie theaters remain packed. This July, several exciting new releases— including sequels and reboots — are set to capture audiences’ attention.
Jurassic World Rebirth: A New Chapter in the Dinosaur Saga
The first major release is “Jurassic World Rebirth,” premiering on July 2. This latest installment continues the beloved computer-generated dinosaur series that began with Jurassic Park in 1993. Fans of the franchise will appreciate the return to dinosaur action, with some fresh twists.
Set on Ile Saint-Hubert—not to be confused with the original sites Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna—the story revolves around secret dinosaur experiments by Parker-Genix Pharmaceutical Engineering. Scarlett Johansson stars as a covert operative who teams up with Mahershala Ali’s character to secure biomaterials from the island’s most dangerous prehistoric species. The film promises plenty of jump scares, some bad puns, and an adorable baby dinosaur named Dolores who is sure to become a merchandising hit.
Superman: A Fresh Take on the Man of Steel
On July 11, “Superman” hits theaters with David Corenswet stepping into the iconic role. This reboot explores Clark Kent’s roots in Smallville, Kansas, and his life in Metropolis as a reporter at the Daily Planet.
Rachel Brosnahan brings new life to Lois Lane, describing her as a “modern, relentless, slightly messy reporter.” The film also features Wendell Pierce as editor Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as photographer Jimmy Olsen, and other familiar faces in the Planet newsroom. Fans will be eager to see how this fresh interpretation holds up against previous adaptations.
Fantastic Four: The First Steps — A New Marvel Adventure
Marvel fans can look forward to “Fantastic Four: The First Steps,” releasing July 25. The cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch).
While previous Fantastic Four adaptations have struggled, recent Marvel outings like Thunderbolts have brought fresh energy to the franchise. This new film aims to continue that momentum.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Returns to Paramount+
Science fiction enthusiasts have a treat on July 17 with the return of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+. It’s been two years since Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and the U.S.S. Enterprise crew last faced the formidable Gorn. This season promises a villain who will test the characters’ grit, along with the signature action, humor, mystery, and romance the show is known for.
The season also features guest stars such as Rhys Darby, Patton Oswalt, Melanie Scrofano, and a special appearance by Paul Wesley as a younger Captain Kirk.
To build anticipation, the first season will be available for free streaming from June 30 through July 31 on platforms including Pluto TV, Paramount+ channels on Amazon, Apple, Roku, Paramount+’s Free Content Hub, and YouTube.
