Manuel Garcia-Rulfo's next project is worlds away from his starring role in the hit Netflix legal series, The Lincoln Lawyer.

The Mexican actor, who plays Mickey Haller in the TV show, is set to star alongside Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey in Jurassic World Rebirth, the fourth film in the Jurassic World series. Watch the new trailer below.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the upcoming movie follows an extraction team as they race to the most dangerous place on Earth: an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind.

The synopsis reads: "Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind."

"There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades."
