For months now, Justice League and Star Wars: The Last Jedi have dominated the toy world with countless products and tie-ins inspired by each respective 2017 blockbuster – Force Friday II alone saw a huge uptake in Star Wars merchandise.
But thanks to the eagle-eyed folks over at Jurassic Outpost, we now have our first look at Universal’s range for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Pegged for a prime summer 2018 release, it’s still far too soon to expect any concrete story details pertaining to Juan Antonio Bayona’s monster sequel, so we’ll have to make do with some good old-fashioned speculation.
The image below features a collection of assorted products marked with the Jurassic World logo. From chewy dino bits to oral hygiene, it’s essentially a shotgun blast of promotional material, but Jurassic Outpost notes that the old T-rex and several of Owen’s (Chris Pratt) velociraptors are illustrated across the packaging. It’s believed that Blue is the ‘raptor pictured most, though it’s impossible to know for sure.
At the very least, it’s an exciting primer for the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom marketing campaign, which will surely kick off soon now that Bayona’s sequel has wrapped production.
Also starring Sherlock‘s Toby Jones, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith and Rafe Spall, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is booked in for a release on June 22nd, 2018, and if it somehow manages to emulate the runaway success of its predecessor ($1.6 billion), Universal will have another billion-dollar hit on their hands. A third and perhaps final installment in the rebooted franchise is also on the cards, and will likely be with us in 2020, providing everything goes according to plan.
