Debut Trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth Shows Scarlett Johansson Kicking a Pterosaur, Shooting a Spinosaurus, and Wondering 'What the Hell Are Those?'

Universal Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, offering a thrilling glimpse into the upcoming action-adventure film 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, previously unseen, serves as a research facility for the original Jurassic Park and houses dinosaurs deemed too dangerous for the main park. The team's objective: to acquire DNA from the three largest dinosaurs on Earth to develop a life-saving drug. Naturally, things don't go as planned.

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 genetic samples from the three most massive dinosaurs across 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's ecosystem struggles to support the surviving dinosaurs, who are now largely 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 unexpectedly intersects with a family whose boat is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, stranding them on the island and revealing 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, alongside Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein as members of Zora and Krebs' teams.
