The seventh film in the Jurassic Park franchise, titled Jurassic World Rebirth, is set to be one of the biggest films of the summer – and in the last few days, fans have been treated to an exciting new look at the upcoming reboot.

First up, a new full-length trailer was released on Wednesday 5th February, giving fans an introduction to the new characters played by Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey – and of course, some more of those deadly dinos.

Meanwhile, just a short time later, a one-minute spot aired during coverage of the Superbowl – an abridged version of the previous trailer using some of the footage that had already appeared – and it certainly makes it seem like this is going to be another epic adventure.

The franchise has had some ups and downs over its three-plus-decade run, with the most recent entry Jurassic World: Dominion receiving a poor critical reception, despite grossing $1 billion at the worldwide box office).

As its title suggests, it looks like Jurassic World Rebirth will be wiping the slate clean, with Gareth Edwards set to direct. Set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the new entry focuses on a mission led by covert operations expert Zora Bennett (Johansson) to secure genetic material from the world’s three biggest dinosaurs in the hopes of developing a groundbreaking drug with life-saving potential.

However, the plot soon takes a dramatic turn when Zora’s team cross paths with a shipwrecked family whose boat has been capsized by aquatic dinosaurs, and the group find themselves stranded on an island inhabited by mutated dinosaurs that were created by the original Jurassic Park’s research lab.

“Obviously, it all goes wrong and becomes a situation that you enjoy watching as a Jurassic fan,” Edwards told EW. “Once you’re on the adventure, the film doesn’t let go until the end credits.”

Wondering whether the new film might be able to revitalise the Jurassic Park franchise? Read on for everything you need to know about the movie.

Is there a trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth?

Yes, and it kicks off with Friend's Martin Krebs telling Zora: "This would be a medical breakthrough that could save countless lives. It comes from the largest dinosaurs on the planet. Fortunately for us all these species exist in one isolated place. Can you be ready tomorrow?"
