Universal Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, offering a compelling glimpse into the upcoming action-adventure 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 developing a life-saving drug. Naturally, things don't go as planned.
Here's the official synopsis:
Featuring iconic action star Scarlett Johansson, rising star Jonathan Bailey, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this thrilling new chapter follows a daring team racing against time to collect DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea, and air. Also starring acclaimed international actors Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by the visionary 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 accommodate the dinosaurs. The surviving dinosaurs are confined to isolated equatorial regions with climates mirroring their prehistoric habitats. These three gigantic creatures hold the key to a groundbreaking drug with life-saving potential.
Academy Award nominee Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operative leading a top-secret mission to acquire genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boat is capsized by aggressive 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 (Wicked, Bridgerton) portrays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) is Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs; and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked family.
The cast also includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben's family. Further cast members include Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF), and Ed Skrein (Deadpool) as part of Zora and Krebs' teams.

Last month, the screenwriter confirmed the inclusion of a sequence from the original Jurassic Park novel, omitted from the 1993 film. This sequence, as confirmed by Vanity Fair, depicts Dr. Grant and two children (not featured in this film) attempting a perilous raft journey across a lagoon, narrowly avoiding a slumbering Tyrannosaurus rex.
