Universal Pictures has unveiled the debut trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, offering a thrilling glimpse into the highly anticipated action film slated for a July release. The trailer introduces Scarlett Johansson’s team, embarking on a perilous mission to a remote island. This island, a former research facility for the original Jurassic Park, houses dinosaurs deemed too dangerous for the main park.

PlayThe mission's objective? To acquire 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:

Led by action star Scarlett Johansson, alongside Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed adventure follows a team racing against time to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal 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 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 drug with life-saving potential.

Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations expert leading a top-secret mission. When Zora's operation 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; 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' crews.

Last month, Jurassic World: Rebirth's writer confirmed the inclusion of a sequence from the first Jurassic Park novel, omitted from the 1993 film. This sequence, confirmed by Vanity Fair, depicts Dr. Grant and two children (not featured in the new film) attempting a perilous raft journey through a lagoon, narrowly escaping a slumbering Tyrannosaurus rex.
