Jurassic World Rebirth Trailer Teases Return of Raptors and Mosasaurs

The final trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth has arrived just a few months before the summer blockbuster’s Fourth of July opening. Universal Pictures has released the latest teaser for the Jurassic World series’ fourth film and the seventh film overall since Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park premiere in 1993. In the end, the studio wants to give fans a new beginning with Jurassic World Rebirth while keeping things somewhat familiar. Notably, the new sci-fi film will reintroduce the audience to the original Jurassic Park site, three of the biggest prehistoric animals (one each in the air, on land, and in the water), and it even reunites the production with familiar faces like director Gareth Edwards and screenwriter David Koepp.

Jurassic World Rebirth stars Scarlett Johansson as a special ops agent who finds herself on a top-secret mission to extract genetic material with the promise of developing a life-saving drug. The sample is held by the three biggest dinosaurs of their kind: on land, in the sea, and the air. The trailer teases that the protagonists will encounter each one before things go sideways and a vacationing family’s shipwrecked boat party goes horribly, and wildly, wrong. The survivors crash land on an old island that used to house one of the park’s top-secret research operations. By all indications from the first two Jurassic World Rebirth trailers, though, the ancient dinosaurs may not be the biggest threat hiding on that island.

This is the fourth film in the Jurassic World film series and the seventh movie in total. The 2025 film was given to Gareth Edwards after 2014’s Godzilla and reportedly reunites him with franchise writer David Koepp for the first time since the 1993 Jurassic Park original. Koepp is set to return for Jurassic World Rebirth after writing not only the first Jurassic Park but also The Lost World in 1997. Jurassic World Rebirth’s release was announced on April 6, 2024, just hours after Universal released the film’s first teaser trailer.

Production company Universal Pictures reports that this new adventure in the Jurassic Park series is a direct continuation of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion. The dinosaurs’ situation in the world has worsened in the five years since the former’s release: the environment is now “rapidly deteriorating into a climate and ecological conditions that are inhospitable to dinosaurs.” The remaining species have been reduced to isolated hotspots around the planet’s equatorial regions. While this is an obvious plot point that adds urgency to Rebirth’s mission, the few that still exist are still massive, with the three biggest “top of the food chain” creatures of the land, sea, and sky living in a tropical biodome on the verge of extinction. The studio says that these dinos have “all been found to have critical genetic data that will unlock a new miracle, life-saving drug.”

Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a former special ops agent who is recruited for an extracurricular mission to extract the genetic code from the most gargantuan dinosaur in each category. The mission will become more complicated than Johansson’s character ever expected because a family is traveling through the biodome when the team arrives. Their boating holiday is cut short by an aggressive attack from an aquatic dinosaur, and they all wash ashore on an unoccupied island that used to house one of the park’s off-the-books R&D facilities. As one character in the trailer summarizes, it was once used to hoard “the worst of the worst,” which could easily describe the Jurassic Park franchise’s star attractions.

Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali are the Jurassic World Rebirth leads with Rupert Friend, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacano, Bechir Sylvain, Audrina Miranda, Ed Skrein, and Philippine Velge joining them in yet-unknown roles. Johansson, Ali, Garcia-Rulfo, Bailey, Blaise, Iacano, Miranda, and Sylvain also appear in the new poster, which Universal dropped with the final trailer release.

Jurassic World Rebirth’s First Trailer Teased More Dinosaurs Than the Original

Almost none of the footage in Jurassic World Rebirth’s final trailer has not already been previewed in the first trailer from February. While Universal Pictures notes that this video, which was released at the end of April, “deepens” the action, suspense, and sci-fi themes already teased, there isn’t much in this trailer that hasn’t already been teased. The last trailer begins with a sequence already featured in the first trailer that depicts a worker in a hazmat suit who’s reached into a T-Rex pen as it slinks along with its tongue out and its mouth wide open. The worker screams as he’s yanked out, bitten, and then bitten again before the focus cuts back to Johansson as she surveys the research scene around her.

The sequel features plenty of familiar elements fans will remember from previous entries. The reestablishment of the film’s original Jurassic Park site location is a clear callback to Jurassic World and even the original film. Three of the biggest dinosaurs are a key point of interest in the production, and dinosaur fans in the trailer promise to see Raptors and brand-new ones from the water.

The trailer sets the pace for high-octane, breakneck action, freaky-dino suspense, and lots of monster hunting, too. It may be a reset of sorts for the Jurassic World franchise, but the ingredients remain familiar: an A-team, bleeding-edge science, moral ambiguity, and good old-fashioned dinosaurs on the loose. At least in this trailer, there’s even an airtime nod to Spielberg’s classic with a woman in a gray lab coat who eerily resembles Claire Dearing.

Jurassic World Rebirth opens in U.S. theaters nationwide on July 2, 2025.
