Final ‘Jurassic World Rebirth' Trailer Pits Scarlett Johansson Against Distortus Rex & Winged Mutadons

The latest Jurassic World: Rebirth trailer delivers a grounded, suspenseful vibe as Scarlett Johansson's Zora Bennett heads a covert mission to extract dinosaur DNA from a remote island sanctuary. While the film promises intense action and new prehistoric threats, the standout moment is a pulse-pounding river chase sequence — a direct homage to a scene Michael Crichton wrote for the original novel but never saw on screen until now. Director Gareth Edwards leans into practical effects and a more naturalistic tone, aiming to recapture the awe and tension that made the franchise legendary. With a cast including Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, Rebirth looks set to balance thrilling dino encounters with a gripping survival story. What's especially exciting for long-time fans is the film's return to practical creature effects and on-location shoots, a conscious move away from the heavy CGI of recent instalments. The trailer hints at a more tactile, suspense-driven experience that echoes the original Jurassic Park — right down to the ominous jungle vistas and the bone-rattling sound design. With the promise of new dinosaur species, a fresh survival mystery, and a cast ready to face extinction-level odds, Jurassic World: Rebirth is shaping up to be more than just another sequel. It's a bold attempt to evolve the franchise while paying tribute to its roots—both on screen and on the page. Jurassic World: Rebirth stomps into theatres on 2 July 2025.

‘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.

Scarlett Johansson flashes the flesh as she fights dinos in new Jurassic World Rebirth trailer

The phenomenal Scarlett Johansson found herself in the strangest positions in the newly released trailer for her upcoming action movie, Jurassic World Rebirth. In the new sneak peek clip, released by Universal Pictures on Tuesday, the actress, 40, showed off her lethal beauty and prowess as she faced off against even more terrifying dinosaurs. The second trailer, which comes after the first look was released three months ago, featured the vivacious Johansson alongside Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend fighting for their lives in a battle against much larger and dangerous foes. The stunning Marvel star — who previously admitted it was her 'childhood dream' to star in a Jurassic Park movie — lead the charge as she protected her teammates on their life-threatening mission to obtain the DNA of the most ferocious beasts at the site of the now-destroyed research facility for the original Jurassic Park. The trailer begins with Johansson as researcher Zora Bennett as she warns the others as they head to the tropical island, the site of previous films. 'The theme park owners did experimental work,' she says. 'Leaving only the worst ones here.' She stars as skilled covert operations expert, who leads the team on a mission. For the top-secret mission, they must safely obtain and bring back the genetic material of the most dangerous and largest dinosaurs the world has ever seen, made even more ferocious after the previous Jurassic Park scientists experimented on them. The group are seen traveling by boat and arriving at the island, only to be first greeted by a bone-chilling roar in the distance, as they prepared to face off 'the worst of the worst dinosaurs left here,' as seen in text that flashes quickly across the screen. 'We've put ourselves in a place where we don't belong,' Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis even says to her at one point. 'Survival is a long shot.' She replies: 'That's kind of our specialty.' The movie is set half a decade after the 2022 Jurassic World Dominion movie, which starred Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Chris Pratt, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill among many more in the all-star cast. The synopsis of the movie reads: '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 summary continues. The trailer begins with Johansson as researcher Zora Bennett as she warns the others as they head to the tropical island, the site of previous films. She stars as skilled covert operations expert, who leads the team on a mission The second trailer, which comes after the first look was released three months ago, featured the vivacious Johansson (pictured on right) alongside Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend (pictured on left) fighting for their lives in a battle against much larger and dangerous foes The group are seen traveling by boat and arriving at the island, only to be first greeted by a bone-chilling roar in the distance; Mahershala Ali pictured 'The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.' The trailer follows Johansson and her team as they fight for their lives and face off against the most menacing monsters that survived and were left behind after the dangerous dinosaurs from before were wiped out. The high-stakes mission saw them rappelling down a mountain and coming face to face with a band of hungry raptors. They also snuck into a dinosaur's nest to steal DNA from the eggs and were caught in a battle on the waters as a band of massive, ocean-residing dinosaurs swarm their boat and try to capsize them. She was nearly knocked into the waves but saves herself by grabbing onto the railing with just one leg. While hanging upside down from the boat, she points her weapon at one of the dinosaurs to collect its genetic material as her teammates are still trying to stand back up. At one point, they also encounter a family of innocent civilians. They happened upon the island by accident, fleeing from disaster. And they must help them escape. The star-studded cast also includes Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, Ed Skrein and many more. The newest and latest franchise film was directed by Gareth Edwards. Jurassic World Rebirth is set to premiere in theaters on July 2.
