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 showcases Scarlett Johansson leading a team to a remote island – a former research facility and home to dinosaurs deemed too dangerous for the original park. Their mission: to collect 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 Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed adventure follows a team racing against time to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures on 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, dinosaurs struggle to survive in isolated equatorial regions. Three colossal creatures hold the key to a revolutionary drug.

Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a covert operations expert leading a top-secret mission. When Zora's mission intersects with a family shipwrecked by aquatic dinosaurs, they find themselves stranded on the island, uncovering a decades-old, shocking secret.

Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora's trusted team 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 crew members.
