The first trailer dropped in February, serving primarily as a means of introducing the basic premise and the main characters—and playing up the return to where it all started: the original Jurassic Park. It’s been fairly isolated because, as one character says, “No one’s dumb enough to go where we’re going.” But anything for science and the benefit of humanity, right? Even if it means trying to steal DNA from a pterosaur egg (possibly Quetzalcoatlus northropi) before the angry mother—aka “a flying carnivore the size of an F-16″—returns. In fact, the island is home to “the worst of the worst,” i.e., the most dangerous of the cloned dinosaurs, including the infamous raptors and a new aquatic dinosaur species, the mosasaur.
Some of the same footage and expository dialogue appear in this latest trailer, which honestly gives away much of the movie—although how many fresh twists could there be after so many decades? You know by now what you’re getting with this franchise. The trailer opens with a laboratory emergency in which a worker in a hazmat suit is fatally trapped inside an isolation chamber with what looks like a hungry T-rex. The poor dude pleads with his colleague to open the door before being eaten.
The rest of the trailer consists of our intrepid team—and the unfortunate shipwrecked family—dealing with various species of very dangerous dinosaurs, with ScarJo leading the way on the action. (But pro tip: maybe don’t put a baby dinosaur in your backpack, m’kay?) One assumes there will be several casualties and many narrow escapes before the survivors emerge with the much-needed DNA samples. And of course, there are plenty of stunning panoramic shots of this amazing world and the fantastic creatures in it.
Jurassic World Rebirth hits theaters on July 2, 2025.
