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, venturing 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 world's three largest dinosaurs for a potentially life-saving drug. As expected, things take an unexpected turn.

Here's the official synopsis:

Led by action icon Scarlett Johansson, alongside Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed installment follows a daring team racing to secure DNA samples from three 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. Survivors inhabit isolated equatorial zones with suitable climates. Three massive creatures within 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. When Zora's operation intersects with a family whose boat is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, they find themselves stranded on the island, uncovering 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.

Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda portray Reuben's family. Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein also star.
