**Newsweek Exclusive: “Jurassic World Rebirth” Trailer Unleashes Terrifying New Mutant Dinosaur, the Distortus Rex**
**NEW YORK, NY (Newsweek) -** The “Jurassic World” franchise is roaring back to life with “Jurassic World Rebirth,” and the newly released trailer promises a terrifying twist: the Distortus Rex, a mutant T-Rex inspired by the Rancor from *Star Wars* and the Xenomorph from *Alien*.
The trailer, released Tuesday, showcases the creature’s disturbing design and the lengths scientists will go to in order to contain it. The film, directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, takes place five years after “Jurassic World Dominion,” in a world where dinosaurs are no longer confined.
Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a covert ops expert hired to retrieve genetic material from a forbidden island where the original Jurassic Park research occurred. However, a group of civilians interfere with the mission and the team find that they aren’t the only things on the island.
The film promises to deliver more than just the Distortus Rex, with other terrifying dinosaurs, including a massive alligator-like beast and a flying reptile, also making appearances.
“Jurassic World Dominion,” despite a dismal 29% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, raked in $1 billion globally, showing a clear disconnect between critics and audiences. “Jurassic World Rebirth” aims to capitalize on that audience enthusiasm with a fresh, terrifying take on the dinosaur theme.
The movie will feature the talents of Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, and David Iacono, and is slated to hit theaters on July 2nd. Check out the trailer below.
