Jurassic World Rebirth Trailer Highlights Johansson's Action-Packed Dinosaur Adventure

Universal unveils the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, offering a thrilling glimpse into this highly anticipated action 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 obtain DNA from the three largest dinosaurs on Earth, crucial for a life-saving drug. However, as expected, their mission takes an unexpected turn.

Here's the official synopsis:

Featuring action icon Scarlett Johansson, 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 largest 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, the planet struggles to accommodate dinosaurs. Surviving dinosaurs are confined to isolated equatorial regions with climates mirroring their prehistoric habitats. The three largest creatures in this tropical biosphere hold the key to a revolutionary life-saving drug.

Academy Award nominee Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operative leading a top-secret mission to acquire genetic material. When Zora's mission intersects with a civilian 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 team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) portrays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland) is Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs; and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer) 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 film's writer confirmed the inclusion of a sequence from the original Jurassic Park novel, omitted from the 1993 film. This sequence, confirmed by Vanity Fair, depicts Dr. Grant and two children (not featured in this film) attempting a perilous raft journey through a lagoon, narrowly avoiding a slumbering Tyrannosaurus Rex.
