Jurassic World: Dominion has wrapped - 18 months since pre-production started with 40,000 coronavirus tests being carried out.

The film's director, Colin Trevorrow, took to social media to share the news, explaining how it's 'always hard to say goodbye to family'.

The movie will feature Jurassic OGs Sam Neil, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum as well as Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Speaking to Deadline, Trevorrow said: "I'm not sure I can put it into words. It has been remarkable. Our crew and our cast has been so resilient. All producers have worked around the clock to make it the best it can be. It has been inspiring."

Filming was paused for two weeks last month after there was a few positive coronavirus test results

The movie is due to drop on June 10 in 2022 and despite that being forever away, it looks like it'll be worth the wait after Pratt said the third instalment would knock our socks off.

Pratt, who plays Owen Grady in the newer trilogy, told Variety: "Man, I can't tell you anything, but I can tell you it's going to blow your mind. It's going to be the biggest and best yet. They spared no expense and they're bringing everybody back."

'Everybody' was clearly a nod to the big three from Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III: Neill, Dern and Goldblum.

Dern will be back as Dr. Ellie Satler, Neill will return as Dr. Alan Grant, and Goldblum will reprise his role as the inimitable Dr. Ian Malcolm, all of whom featured in the very first Jurassic Park film back in 1993.

In an interview with Empire, director Colin Trevorrow explained how he needed to establish the best way to continue their legacy.

He said: "We'd have to come up with a reason why Ellie, Malcolm and Grant all went to the theme park on the exact same day it broke down - again. The next film allows the legacy characters to be a part of the story in an organic way."
