The director's cut of "Jurassic World Rebirth" ended with the death of one of the movie's core characters, Gareth Edwards reveals. (Spoilers ahead!)

Jurassic World Rebirth' director Gareth Edwards tells Variety about the film's original ending and Universal executives intervening.

Jurassic World Rebirth doesn’t reinvent the franchise, but delivers thrilling action with a smartly chosen contemporary cast. The plot, the motivations, the situations are silly and sometimes unthinking—such as feeding packaged candy to a tiny dinosaur. This latest instalment feels more like a repackaged fossil than a genuine resurrection.
