NBC Universal has released the final trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth, showcasing pivotal moments from the film and revealing both classic and never-before-seen dinosaurs.
Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, follows an extraction team racing to Earth’s most perilous location—an island research facility once home to the original Jurassic Park, now overrun by its most ferocious survivors. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and written by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Here’s the official blurb:
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has become largely hostile to dinosaurs. Those that remain survive only in isolated equatorial zones, where climates mirror the environments they once dominated. The three largest creatures—ruling land, sea, and sky within this tropical biosphere—hold within their DNA the key to a life-saving drug.
Academy Award nominee Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a seasoned covert operative hired to lead a secret mission to secure their genetic material. When Zora’s operation collides with a civilian family whose boat is overturned by predatory aquatic dinosaurs, all are stranded on a forbidden island that once concealed a classified Jurassic Park research facility. Amid a landscape teeming with wildly diverse dinosaur species, they uncover a sinister, long-buried secret—one hidden from the world for decades.
So, what do we see in this final trailer? Key highlights include the river raft sequence from Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park. In January, Koepp revealed he revisited Crichton’s original novels to rekindle the film’s spirit, since no new source novel exists for this sequel. As a result, he incorporated elements previously left out—most notably a scene from the first novel that never made it into the 1993 film. “There was a sequence from the first novel we always wanted in the original movie but couldn’t fit,” Koepp said. “Now we finally get to use it.”
Can a T-Rex swim? Yes, it turns out.
Elsewhere, we’re introduced to several new dinosaurs, including a closer look at the ‘D-Rex,’ officially named Distortus Rex—a new mutant dino crafted for Jurassic World Rebirth, blending traits of a T-Rex and Star Wars’ Rancor. “It’s like if the T-Rex was designed by H.R. Giger, and then that whole thing had sex with a Rancor,” Edwards told Empire earlier this month.
This is the Distortus Rex, aka the D-Rex. Rancor vibes?
Also in the trailer: winged Mutadons—“a fusion of a pterosaur and a Raptor,” according to Koepp.
Jurassic Park always has a terrifying raptor scene. This time, it’s the Mutadons.
