Jurassic World Rebirth will also introduce Mutadons, another mutant Dinosaur!

Jurassic World Rebirth director Gareth Edwards and screenwriter David Koepp have revealed the film will introduce another mutant Dinosaur, in addition to the Distortus Rex! While speaking with Empire Magazine for their summer feature, they revealed the name of a second mutated creature which our re-con team led by Scarlett Johansson will encounter - the Winged Mutadons!

As well as the D-Rex, we’ll meet the winged Mutadons, “a combination of a pterosaur and a Raptor,” says screenwriter David Koepp, who previously penned both Jurassic Park and The Lost World. “Those came from my strange mind,” he tells Empire of Rebirth’s mutants. “We saw in some of the previous Jurassic World movies that their experiments made dinosaurs bigger, meaner, scarier, and it occurred to me and Steven [Spielberg] that those can’t all have gone well.” 

While the mutants are a slight veer off course from the hybrid attempts in the last 3 Jurassic World films, they're still a risky move - Dinosaurs are (and should be) scary enough as they are. But unlike the hybrids in the last 3 films, Gareth Edwards designed the Distortus Rex to invoke a sense of pity from the audience, rather than fear exclusively:

With six limbs, teeth galore, and a ravenous appetite, you’ve never seen something quite like the D-Rex before. “It’s a design that I was really happy with,” says the director. “I’d like to buy the toy of it when it comes out.” And like the greatest movie monsters, it’s meant to inspire pity as well as terror. “It’s as if another animal has been wrapped around the T-Rex,” says ILM’s David Vickery. “Gareth wanted us to feel sorry for it as well as terrified, because its deformities have caused it some pain, and there’s an encumbrance to it.

Jurassic World Rebirth arrives in theaters July 2nd!
