Scarlett Johansson Battles Dinosaurs in Jurassic World Rebirth Debut Trailer

Universal Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated action film, Jurassic World Rebirth, set to hit theaters in July. The trailer offers an exciting glimpse into the adventure that awaits fans of the franchise.

Led by the iconic Scarlett Johansson, the film follows a team venturing to a remote island that serves as a home for dinosaurs considered too dangerous for the original park. This island also houses a secret research facility from the original Jurassic Park. The mission? To secure DNA from the eggs of the world's three largest dinosaurs, which scientists believe could be used to develop a groundbreaking drug capable of saving countless lives. However, as with any venture into the world of dinosaurs, things quickly spiral out of control.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, breakthrough talent Jonathan Bailey, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea, and air. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Academy Award nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world's three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that's been hidden from the world for decades.

Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora's most trusted team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as 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 civilian family.

The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben's family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs' crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF), and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).

Last month, the writer of Jurassic World Rebirth confirmed that the film includes a sequence from the original Jurassic Park novel that was omitted from the 1993 film. This sequence involves Dr. Grant and two children attempting to drift through a lagoon in a rubber raft without disturbing a sleeping Tyrannosaurus rex. Unfortunately, their attempt fails, leading to a thrilling escape as confirmed by Vanity Fair.
