Jurassic World Rebirth trailer reveals D-Rex, Mutadon

Authore: CamilaUpdate:Oct 18,2025

NBC Universal has unveiled the climactic trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth, highlighting pivotal scenes alongside glimpses of returning dinosaurs and terrifying new species.

Featuring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, Jurassic World Rebirth follows an extraction team venturing into Earth's most perilous location – a forgotten Jurassic Park research island now overrun by genetically unstable specimens. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) with a script by original Jurassic Park writer David Koepp.

The official synopsis reveals:

Five years post-Jurassic World Dominion, dinosaurs struggle to survive outside equatorial zones mimicking their prehistoric habitats. Three apex predators inhabiting this tropical ecosystem carry DNA that could revolutionize modern medicine.
Johansson stars as covert ops specialist Zora Bennett, tasked with retrieving this genetic material. When her mission collides with shipwrecked civilians attacked by marine reptiles, survivors find themselves trapped on a restricted island housing classified Jurassic Park research. There, they uncover a decades-old secret hidden among diverse dinosaur populations.

Trailer highlights include a thrilling river raft sequence originally conceptualized in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novel. Screenwriter Koepp recently confirmed adapting unused book elements: "There's a standout sequence from the first novel we couldn't include in the 1993 film," he shared. "Now we finally got our chance."

T-Rex aquatic capabilities confirmed.

The preview also introduces revolutionary creature designs like the Distortus Rex (D-Rex) – a terrifying hybrid resembling Star Wars' Rancor. Edwards describes it: "Imagine H.R. Giger redesigned a T-Rex, then bred it with Jabba's monstrous pet."

Behold the D-Rex – equal parts nightmare fuel and Rancor inspiration.

Winged Mutadons also make their debut – Koepp's creation combining pterosaur wings with Velociraptor lethality.

No Jurassic installment is complete without raptor terror. Meet their aerial successors.
