Mahershala Ali Has A Theory About What Exactly Happened During Jurassic World: Rebirth's Ending
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Major spoilers for Jurassic World Rebirth lie ahead, so read on at your own discretion. Jurassic World Rebirth – the latest installment in the Jurassic Universe – is finally here, and the film introduces audiences to a cast of new characters. As you'd expect, these new protagonists find themselves in some precarious situations involving dinosaurs. There's actually one situation at the end of the film that seemingly marks the demise of one character. However, in a wild twist of fate, that development gets wrapped up on a positive note. Mahershala Ali has since spoken to CinemaBlend about what he thinks happened. Near the very end of Rebirth, mercenaries Zora Bennett and Duncan Kincaid along with Dr. Henry Loomis and the Delgado family make one final effort to escape the island of Ile Saint-Hubert. They're able to find a boat but are intercepted by the monstrous D. Rex, which Duncan lures away with a flare. Duncan's actions eventually bring him face to face with the massive creature, which looks like it's about to attack him. However, as Zora and co. prepare to sail away, they see a flare and meet up with Duncan, who swims towards them. Honestly, I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely thought Duncan was done for before that reveal. That upbeat ending came up while CinemaBlend's Hannah Saulic spoke to Mahershala Ali and his cast members, Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey. While Bailey and Johansson joked about how Ali's character survived his encounter with the D. Rex, the Oscar winner himself tried to provide a more practical theory: I think he went… I think he distracted… The flare went out, and I think he went underwater and kind of like, you know, swam away very quickly. More on Jurassic World Rebirth To 3D/4DX Or Not To 3D/4DX: Buy The Right Jurassic World Rebirth Ticket That could've been the case, and it does make a lot more sense than Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey's humorous assertion that the Duncan who swims back to the group is actually a 'clone.' Believe it or not, Mahershala Ali himself also thought Duncan died, as he revealed during the interview. Apparently, Ali didn't discuss the specifics of that with director Gareth Edwards either. I'm not sure if we'll ever receive a concrete answer there, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see that Duncan survived. Duncan Kincaid's characterization does represent one of the best elements of the original Jurassic Park, which writer David Koepp compared to Rebirth in some respects. As much as the movie delivers on dinosaurs and spectacle, it also puts focus on human connections. Duncan is a man who's lost a child, and it's for that reason he's willing to put himself in harm's way to protect the group, especially the Delgado kids. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearThe Jurassic Park saga is available on Peacock, and fans who want to check them out should consider grabbing a membership. It costs as little as $7.99 per month. Customers can also pay more for Peacock Premium and take in ad-free streams along with the option to download titles for viewing at a later Deal At this point, it's hard to say if Mahershala Ali will reprise his role in another installment of the Steven Spielberg-produced. However, at the very least, the creative team has the option to do so, given his survival and, given the ending of Rebirth, the future of the Jurassic franchise is wide open. Jurassic World Rebirth is now playing in theaters amid the 2025 movie schedule, so check your local listings. Also, the previous six films in the series are currently available to stream with a Peacock subscription.

Scientists think they have found the oldest rocks on earth
A new study has pinpointed what could be the oldest rocks on Earth, found within a remote Canadian rock formation, offering fresh insights into our planet's earliest history. The Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt, located on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay in Quebec, has long been recognised for its ancient geological formations. However, the precise age of these streaked grey stones has been a subject of scientific contention for decades. Research from two decades ago suggested the rocks could be as old as 4.3 billion years, placing them firmly in Earth 's infancy. Yet, other scientists challenged this, arguing that long-ago contaminants had skewed the dating methods, proposing a younger age of 3.8 billion years. In a bid to resolve this long-standing debate, researchers in the latest study sampled a distinct section of rock from the belt. Employing both of the previously used dating techniques – which measure the decay of radioactive elements over time – they arrived at a refined age. Their findings indicate the rocks are approximately 4.16 billion years old, a figure that bridges the gap between earlier estimates and provides a more precise timeline for these ancient geological wonders. This discovery not only refines our understanding of the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt's immense age but also contributes significantly to the broader scientific effort to map the earliest chapters of Earth 's formation. The different methods "gave exactly the same age,' said study author Jonathan O'Neil with the University of Ottawa. The new research was published Thursday in the journal Science. Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a collapsing cloud of dust and gas soon after the solar system existed. Primordial rocks often get melted and recycled by Earth's moving tectonic plates, making them extremely rare on the surface today. Scientists have uncovered 4 billion-year-old rocks from another formation in Canada called the Acasta Gneiss Complex, but the Nuvvuagittuq rocks could be even older. Studying rocks from Earth's earliest history could give a glimpse into how the planet may have looked — how its roiling magma oceans gave way to tectonic plates — and even how life got started. 'To have a sample of what was going on on Earth way back then is really valuable,' said Mark Reagan with the University of Iowa, who studies volcanic rocks and lava and was not involved with the new study. The rock formation is on tribal Inukjuak lands and the local Inuit community has temporarily restricted scientists from taking samples from the site due to damage from previous visits. After some geologists visited the site, large chunks of rock were missing and the community noticed pieces for sale online, said Tommy Palliser, who manages the land with the Pituvik Landholding Corp. The Inuit community wants to work with scientists to set up a provincial park that would protect the land while allowing researchers to study it. 'There's a lot of interest for these rocks, which we understand,' said Palliser, a member of the community. 'We just don't want any more damage.'
