TheJurassic World 2Super Bowl trailer has been released online, offering an extended look at the upcomingJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The sequel findsColin TrevorrowandDerek Connollyreprising their roles as screenwriters, butA Monster CallsandThe ImpossiblefilmmakerJ.A. Bayonatakes over directing duties. The sequel picks up pretty much whereJurassic Worldleft off, but this time Owen (Chris Pratt) convinces Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) to return to Isla Nublar. Why? Because a volcano threatens to destroy every single living dinosaur left on the island, which was abandoned after the devastating events ofJurassic World.
It’ll be interesting to see how the sequel navigates some obvious questions with regards to its plot (chiefly, why?), but Trevorrow previously teased that there’s an entire half of the movie that has yet to be shown in the marketing materials. It appears some of that may be on display in this new Super Bowl spot, as we see a brand new breed of dinosaur terrorizing a young child’s bedroom. Do the dinosaurs go back to the Continental United States a laThe Lost World, or is this some substation on the island? I’m guessing it’s the former, which makesFallen Kingdomfar more intriguing than it initially seemed to be. Bayona’s sensibilities hew a bit darker, and he’s pretty excellent at crafting tension, so at the very least this looks to be like quite a scary affair.

Here’s the official synopsis forJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom:
It’s been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.
When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who’s still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.
With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful series in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
