Universal has officially released the first look at "Jurassic World Rebirth," the seventh film in the 31-year-old franchise starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali. Gareth Edwards ("Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," "The Creator") is directing from a script by David Koepp, who wrote the original "Jurassic Park" that debuted in 1993.

According to an official synopsis, the film is set five years after the events of “Jurassic World Dominion,” when “the planet’s ecology proved largely inhospitable to dinosaurs.”

“The remnants live in isolated equatorial environments with climates similar to those in which they once thrived,” the synopsis continues. “The three most colossal creatures in that tropical biosphere hold the key to a medicine that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humanity.”
