Here's the official synopsis:

Five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Earth's ecosystems have largely rejected dinosaurs. Survivors cluster in equatorial zones mirroring their prehistoric habitats. Three apex predators - terrestrial, aquatic and aerial - harbor crucial DNA that could yield revolutionary medical breakthroughs.

Johansson portrays covert ops specialist Zora Bennett, leading a black-ops mission to secure this genetic goldmine. When her team encounters civilians marooned by aquatic predators, all find themselves trapped on a restricted island housing Jurassic Park's classified research facility. There, among diverse dinosaur species, they uncover a terrifying secret buried for decades.

Key Trailer Highlights

The trailer resurrects a never-filmed river sequence from Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel. Screenwriter Koepp recently revealed revisiting Crichton's work for inspiration, stating: "There was a sequence we'd always wanted in the original movie but couldn't accommodate. Now we finally get to use it."

Viewers get their first proper look at the genetically modified 'D-Rex' (officially named Distortus Rex). Edwards describes this terrifying hybrid as "what if Giger redesigned a T-Rex that bred with a Star Wars Rancor."

New aerial threats emerge with the winged Mutadons, which Koepp characterizes as "pterosaur-Raptor hybrids."
