Witness Jurassic Thrills: Johansson Unleashes in 'Rebirth'

Universal unveils the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, offering a thrilling glimpse into this highly anticipated action 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 – a crucial component for 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 action-packed adventure follows a daring team racing against time to collect DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures – 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 struggles to accommodate dinosaurs, leaving them confined to isolated equatorial regions. The three largest dinosaurs in this tropical biosphere hold the key to a groundbreaking drug with life-saving potential.

Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operative leading a top-secret mission. Their operation intersects with a family whose boat is capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, stranding them all on the island, where they uncover 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, along with Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein as members of Zora and Krebs' teams.
