‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' trailer: Scarlett Johansson faces off against a new hybrid dino monstrosity
The second trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth has been released, giving us a closer look at the seventh film in the long-running dinosaur franchise. Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, the film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey in leading roles.
Set five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, the story unfolds in a world where dinosaurs have been largely pushed into remote, equatorial zones due to climate incompatibility. However, the few surviving species may hold the secret to a medical breakthrough, driving a high-risk extraction mission led by Johansson's character.
Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a covert operative tasked with retrieving DNA from three massive dinosaur species. She is joined by Mahershala Ali's Duncan Kincaid and Jonathan Bailey's Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist. The team also includes a pharmaceutical representative played by Martin Krebs, with supporting roles by Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein.
The trailer reveals the group's mission takes a turn when they cross paths with a civilian family stranded after their boat is attacked by aquatic dinosaurs. The combined group ends up marooned on an island, where they uncover a long-buried secret with major consequences.
Visually, the trailer hints at an evolution in the franchise's action set pieces, introducing not only land-based predators but new threats from the air and sea — including avian dinosaurs and aquatic creatures.
But among the new threats teased in the Rebirth trailer, one stands out as the franchise's most nightmarish creation yet: the Distortus Rex, or D-Rex. Engineered at a previously unknown InGen site, this monstrous hybrid is unlike anything seen before.
With six limbs, rows of jagged teeth, and a twisted, almost tortured form, the D-Rex is one of the franchise's most grotesque designs yet. 'It's kind of like if the T-Rex was designed by H.R. Giger, and then that whole thing had sex with a Rancor,' director Gareth Edwards told Empire.
Jurassic World: Rebirth is produced by Amblin Entertainment and hits theaters on July 2.
