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 the upcoming action-adventure film slated for a July release.

The trailer introduces a team led by Scarlett Johansson, venturing to a remote island. This island, previously a research facility for the original Jurassic Park, houses dinosaurs deemed too dangerous for the main park. Their mission: to collect DNA from the three largest dinosaurs on Earth, crucial for developing a life-saving drug. However, as anticipated, their mission takes an unexpected turn.

Here's the official synopsis:

Featuring action icon Scarlett Johansson, rising star Jonathan Bailey, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed installment follows a daring team racing against time to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures – land, sea, and air. Also starring 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 after Jurassic World Dominion, the planet struggles to accommodate dinosaurs. Surviving dinosaurs are confined to isolated equatorial regions with suitable climates. The three largest creatures in this tropical biosphere hold the key to a groundbreaking drug with life-saving potential.

Academy Award nominee Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operative leading a top-secret mission to obtain genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boat capsizes due to aquatic dinosaurs, they find themselves stranded on the island, uncovering a decades-old, shocking secret.

Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora's trusted team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) portrays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland) is Martin Krebs, a Big Pharma representative; and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked family.

The cast also includes Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda as Reuben's family, along with Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein as members of Zora and Krebs' teams.

Last month, the screenwriter confirmed Jurassic World: Rebirth includes a sequence from the original Jurassic Park novel omitted from the 1993 film. This sequence, as confirmed by Vanity Fair, depicts Dr. Grant and two children (not featured in the new film) attempting a perilous raft journey through a lagoon, narrowly avoiding a sleeping Tyrannosaurus rex.
