The main trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the iconic franchise revived by Steven Spielberg, has been released ahead of its Japanese premiere on August 8. Set on the most dangerous island on Earth, the film follows a group of protagonists undertaking a top-secret mission while engaging in a fierce struggle for survival against rampaging dinosaurs.

Scarlett Johansson Shares a Message to Japanese Fans

The trailer opens with a personal message from lead actress Scarlett Johansson, who expresses her excitement about joining the Jurassic series—a lifelong dream come true. She teases that the film contains a “shocking secret” sure to surprise longtime fans of the franchise.

Mission to a Forbidden Island with Deadly Dinosaurs

The story begins on a forbidden island that still houses a clandestine research facility from the original Jurassic Park. Three key characters—Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), a skilled covert operations agent; Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), a battle-hardened mercenary; and Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey), a renowned paleontologist—set foot on this dangerous terrain. Their goal: to extract DNA from three distinct dinosaur species—land, sea, and air—to develop a revolutionary treatment for heart disease.

Dinosaurs Strike by Land, Sea, and Air

The trailer showcases thrilling encounters, including a terrifying face-off with the massive flying reptile Quetzalcoatlus and the newly introduced Titanosaurus, a colossal herbivore. The protagonists come dangerously close to these creatures as they collect vital DNA. One scene hints at a bizarre new dinosaur species, with pterosaur-like wings and raptor-like claws—possibly the product of covert experiments conducted on the island.

The T-Rex and Mosasaurus Rampage

The Delgado family, who joins the protagonists on their journey, finds themselves under threat from a ferocious T-Rex. In a harrowing scene, the dinosaur swims toward their boat, capsizes it with a violent strike, and relentlessly pursues the family in the river.

Another jaw-dropping moment features the Mosasaurus, the marine apex predator, launching a surprise attack from beneath the waves. The creature fixates on Zora, who is hanging by one leg from the bow of the boat, and leaps from the ocean like a whale in a desperate bid to devour her.

Advance Tickets and Campaign

Starting May 30, a limited number of MoviTicke Advance Tickets (card type) will be sold, each including one of three random dinosaur pins representing land, sea, or air species. An exclusive campaign for online ticket buyers will also begin, offering 140 fans a chance to win themed merchandise.

The Legacy of the Jurassic Series

Since Jurassic Park premiered in 1993, directed by Steven Spielberg, the franchise has captivated audiences with its realistic and thrilling depiction of dinosaurs. The saga continued in 2015 with Jurassic World, expanding the scale and global fanbase. To date, the six-film series has earned over 940 billion yen worldwide.

Cast and Creative Team of Jurassic World Rebirth

Produced by Steven Spielberg himself, Jurassic World Rebirth is helmed by Gareth Edwards, known for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and The Creator (2023). The screenplay marks the return of David Koepp, writer of Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World (1997), after a 28-year hiatus.

Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, the first female protagonist in the franchise and an expert in secret missions.
