While attending theJurassic World: Fallen Kingdompanel at this year’s CCXP (Comic-Con Experience) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, directorJ. A. Bayonaand writer/producerColin Trevorrowshared some new information about the much-anticipated sequel during their Q&A withErico Borgofrom Omelete.
As you’ve nowseen in the first trailer, it’s set four years after the previous film and will return to Isla Nublar where a volcano threatens the lives of the dinosaurs that now roam free in the former tourist park. Dinosaur trainer Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and previous park manager Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) are now tasked with preventing the second extinction of these dinos. Of course action ensues.
While some people think of theJurassic Parkfilms as simple popcorn and soda movies,Trevorrow has previously mentionedFallen Kingdomaims to be more than that:
“It’s definitely about our greed and the depths of depravity that humans will sink in order to satisfy their need for profit. We’re certainly continuing with a lot of those themes but in different ways. But without spoiling anything there’s definitely new themes that have never been examined in a Jurassic movie before that we’ve gotten into that I really think will expand people’s idea of what these movies can be, that it’s not just people running away from dinosaurs on an island.”
During the panel at CCXP, Trevorrow revealed a bit more about the sequel by saying the film will feature a moral debate on whether or not the dinosaurs deserve to be saved, or if they should be left alone to go extinct. So besides being a big summer movie, it’s going to hopefully get people talking about real world issues.
Trevorrow and Bayona also shared a lot of other new information and I’ve listed it out below.Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdomopens June 03, 2025 and also starsJames Cromwell,Ted Levine,Justice Smith,Geraldine Chaplin,Daniella Pineda,Toby Jones,Rafe Spall,BD Wong, andJeff Goldblum.

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.
