Despite what may have happened in the previous Jurassic Era films, it seems as though man hasn’t learned their lesson about what happens when you play God—as such, creating dinosaurs may be their undoing. Universal has released the latest trailer for “Jurassic World Dominion,” the final chapter of the saga that sees two generations of Jurassic Era films unite for the first time. Previous films saw our heroes facing these dinos on an island, in San Diego, or a mansion. But now, they must find a way to coexist. This means that Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are joined by Oscar®-winner Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill, who all try to survive their current predicament in a bold, timely, and breathtaking new adventure that spans the globe.

There was no doubt we would get to this point. Crossovers are a huge thing for blockbuster franchises like these. Just look at what Marvel Studios has done, or even Star Wars. So it’s no wonder that Universal would want to replicate that by bringing all of our favorite Jurassic Era characters into one film. And with “Jurassic World” earning $1.67 billion and “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” earning $1.31 billion, it’s very likely that “Jurassic World Dominion” could be among the biggest box office winners of the summer.
Here’s the official plot synopsis:
From Jurassic World architect and director Colin Trevorrow, Dominion takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures.
The film features new cast members DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It), Emmy nominee Mamoudou Athie (Archive 81), Dichen Lachman (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Scott Haze (Minari) and Campbell Scott (The Amazing Spider-Man 2). The film’s returning cast includes BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu, Justice Smith as Franklin Webb, Daniella Pineda as Dr. Zia Rodriguez and Omar Sy as Barry Sembenè.
Jurassic World Dominion is directed by Colin Trevorrow, who steered 2015’s Jurassic World to a record-shattering $1.7 billion global box office. The screenplay is by Emily Carmichael (Battle at Big Rock) & Colin Trevorrow from a story by Derek Connolly (Jurassic World) & Trevorrow, based on characters created by Michael Crichton. Jurassic World Dominion is produced by acclaimed franchise producers Frank Marshall p.g.a. and Patrick Crowley p.g.a. and is executive produced by legendary, Oscar®-winning franchise creator Steven Spielberg, Alexandra Derbyshire and Colin Trevorrow.
“Jurassic World Dominion” opens in theaters on June 10, 2022.
