The official synopsis teases a world five years post-Jurassic World Dominion, where dinosaurs struggle to survive in the planet's inhospitable ecology, thriving only in isolated equatorial regions mimicking their ancient habitats. The largest creatures across land, sea, and air in these tropical zones hold the key to a revolutionary drug within their DNA, promising miraculous life-saving benefits for humanity.

Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations expert tasked with leading a team to retrieve this genetic material. Their mission takes a dramatic turn when they encounter a civilian family stranded after their boat is capsized by aggressive aquatic dinosaurs. Together, they find themselves on a forbidden island, once a secret Jurassic Park research facility, now teeming with diverse dinosaur species. Here, they uncover a sinister secret that has been concealed for decades.

The final trailer offers a glimpse into several key scenes, including a river raft sequence inspired by Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel, which Koepp has now brought to life on screen. Koepp, having re-read Crichton's novels for inspiration, incorporated elements from the books that were previously unused, fulfilling a long-held desire to include these scenes.

The trailer also reveals new dinosaurs, including the 'D-Rex,' officially named Distortus Rex. This mutant dinosaur, a unique creation for Jurassic World Rebirth, merges the characteristics of a T-Rex and a Rancor from Star Wars. Gareth Edwards described it as, "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."

Additionally, viewers catch a glimpse of the winged Mutadons, a hybrid of a pterosaur and a Raptor, adding to the film's array of terrifying creatures.

Jurassic World Rebirth is set to premiere in theaters on July 2. For more details, explore everything we know about Jurassic World Rebirth, and delve into the most pressing questions about the film.
