Debut Trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth Shows Scarlett Johansson Kicking a Pterosaur, Shooting a Spinosaurus, and Wondering 'What the Hell Are Those?'

Universal unveils the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, offering a thrilling glimpse into this highly anticipated July release.

The trailer introduces Scarlett Johansson's team, venturing to a remote island. This island, a former research facility for the original Jurassic Park, houses dinosaurs deemed too dangerous for the main park. Their mission? To obtain DNA from the three largest dinosaurs to develop a life-saving drug. Predictably, things go awry.

Here's the official synopsis:

Led by action icon Scarlett Johansson, alongside Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed adventure follows a team racing against time to collect DNA samples from the three most colossal dinosaurs – land, sea, and air. Featuring Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and scripted by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years post-Jurassic World Dominion, the planet struggles to accommodate dinosaurs. Survivors inhabit isolated equatorial regions with climates mirroring their prehistoric habitats. These three behemoths hold the key to a revolutionary life-saving drug.

Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operative leading a top-secret mission. Their operation intersects with a family whose boat is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, stranding them on the island. There, they uncover a decades-old, shocking secret.

Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora's trusted leader; Jonathan Bailey portrays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Rupert Friend is Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs; and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked family.

Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda portray Reuben's family. Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein also star.

Last month, the film's writer confirmed the inclusion of a sequence from the original Jurassic Park novel, omitted from the 1993 film. This sequence, confirmed by Vanity Fair, depicts Dr. Grant and two children (not featured in this film) attempting a perilous raft journey through a lagoon, narrowly avoiding a sleeping Tyrannosaurus rex.
