Jurassic World 3 Will Be The Start Of A New Saga

Jurassic World 3 will be the start of a new chapter in the blockbuster franchise, it has been confirmed.

While some had suggested that the next instalment, Jurassic World: Dominion, could be the end of the road for the series, its producer has put the record straight.

Speaking to Collider, Frank Marshall assured fans that this was not the end but the 'start of a new era', and that rumours to the contrary were false.

When asked whether this was the final chapter, he told the publication 'no' and explained that there could be some exciting developments.

He said: "The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope."

But bloodthirsty dinosaurs rampaging through the streets isn't the only thing fans have got to look forward to.

Earlier this year, Chris Pratt, who plays Owen Grady in the trilogy, revealed that some original faces from the franchise, including Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, will be returning.

He 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."

The rumour that the original cast would return has been circulating for some time, but it looks like things are now set in stone following Pratt's comments.

Back in September, at a Collider-organised screening of the first Jurassic World flick at the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood, director Colin Trevorrow brought Laura Dern out onto the stage for a Q&A section where she confirmed the theory.

Dern will be back as Dr. Ellie Sattler, 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, 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."
