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, embarking on a mission 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 objective: to acquire DNA from the three largest dinosaurs for a potentially life-saving drug. Naturally, things don't go as planned.

Here's the official synopsis:

Led by action icon Scarlett Johansson, alongside rising star Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed installment follows a daring team racing against time to collect 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, with surviving populations confined to isolated equatorial regions. The DNA of the three largest creatures in this tropical biosphere holds the key to a revolutionary life-saving medicine.

Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operative leading a top-secret mission. Her operation intersects with a family whose boat is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, stranding them all 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.

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 this film) attempting—and failing—to navigate a lagoon in a raft without disturbing a sleeping Tyrannosaurus Rex.
