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 blockbuster slated for a July release.

The trailer showcases a team led by Scarlett Johansson embarking on a perilous 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 obtain DNA from the three largest dinosaurs to create a life-saving drug. Predictably, things go awry.

Here's the official synopsis:

Featuring action icon Scarlett Johansson, rising star Jonathan Bailey, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed adventure follows a daring team racing against time to collect DNA samples from the three most massive dinosaurs 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, the planet struggles to accommodate dinosaurs, with surviving populations confined to isolated equatorial regions. These colossal creatures 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, stranding them on the island where 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 crew members.
