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 world's three largest dinosaurs for a potentially life-saving drug. Naturally, things don't go as planned.

Here's the official synopsis:

Led by action star Scarlett Johansson, alongside 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 dinosaurs – 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 features a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years after Jurassic World Dominion, the planet struggles to accommodate the dinosaurs. Survivors inhabit isolated equatorial regions with climates similar to their prehistoric habitats. The three largest creatures in this tropical biosphere 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 civilian family whose boat is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, leaving them stranded on the island and uncovering a decades-old, shocking secret.

Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora's trusted leader; Jonathan Bailey portrays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Rupert Friend is Martin Krebs, a Big Pharma representative; 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.
