“These creatures were here before us. And if we’re not careful, they’re gonna be here after.”
That’s Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) there, bringing some much-needed wisdom and common sense to the immense new trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Yes, it’s finally here, and it promises some epic dino action to come this summer. Seemingly taking on more of a horror vibe, all the franchise staples are still intact, with larger-than-life set pieces (Blue vs. the Indoraptor!) being in plentiful supply and even a bit of humor sprinkled in throughout all the thrills. Because even when he’s pinned against a steel container by a sleepy T-rex, Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady is still able to crack a joke or two.
Set four years after the calamitous events of Jurassic World, in which the famous resort succumbed to dino-infested anarchy, Fallen Kingdom has some very big shoes to fill if it’s to replicate the meteoric success of its predecessor. Something tells us though that it will have no trouble cleaning up at the box office this summer.
On the human side of things, Fallen Kingdom spells the return of Infinity War‘s Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, who are now joined by series veteran Jeff Goldblum, James Cromwell, Ted Levine, Justice Smith, Geraldine Chaplin, Daniella Pineda, Toby Jones, Rafe Spall, and BD Wong.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom roars into theaters on June 22nd. And after that? A second sequel that will herald the return of Colin Trevorrow to the director’s chair, after he recently parted ways with Lucasfilm due to creative differences on Star Wars: Episode IX.
