A new teaser clip from Jurassic World: Rebirth is sending major Jaws vibes as Scarlett Johansson’s character, Zora Bennet, confronts a massive prehistoric sea beast—likely the iconic Mosasaurus fans first saw in Jurassic World. The clip, shared by IGN, offers a thrilling glimpse of the action and suspense audiences can expect from this summer blockbuster.
In the intense scene, Johansson’s Zora attempts to tranquilize the enormous creature from a boat alongside her team, which includes Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs, Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Harry Loomis, and Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid. After missing the first dart, Zora shouts, “Another dart!” as the team scrambles to reload. The giant sea creature nearly capsizes their vessel, creating a tense, edge-of-your-seat moment before Zora aims once again—ready to face the monster head-on.
Set to hit theaters on July 2, Jurassic World: Rebirth sees Johansson leading an extraction team stationed at an island research facility tied to the original Jurassic Park. The film promises to blend thrilling action sequences with the franchise’s signature prehistoric awe.
Johansson has openly shared her excitement about joining the Jurassic universe. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she recounted meeting Steven Spielberg—executive producer of the new film and director of the 1993 original—and admitting her deep fandom for the franchise. “I had a meeting with him and I don’t actually know if he knew the depths of my Jurassic fandom,” she said, humorously noting she hoped she hadn’t come on “too strong.”
Reflecting on the original Jurassic Park, Johansson called it “such a formative movie-going experience,” praising its perfect blend of CGI, puppetry, music, and balanced tone. She fondly recalled watching Jurassic World during the shooting of an Avengers film, sharing the excitement with a group of friends over chicken fingers and nachos. “Now that I get to be in one, it’s just crazy,” she added.
With Johansson at the helm of the new film’s tense and dangerous scenes, Jurassic World: Rebirth looks poised to deliver both nostalgia and fresh thrills when it premieres this July. Fans can expect a heart-pounding adventure featuring the prehistoric creatures and heroic human stories that have defined the franchise for over three decades.
