‘Jurassic World 3’ Is Bringing Back Jake Johnson And Omar Sy
Jurassic World 3will feature more than the return ofColin Trevorrowin the director’s chair. The upcomingJurassic Worldsequel will bring backJake JohnsonandOmar Sy, characters last seen in Trevorrow’s 2015 revival of theJurassic Parkseries. The duo were last seen making an escape from Isla Nublar as the escaped dinosaurs went on their rampage.The Hollywood Reporterhas the news that Johnson and Sy are returning to theJurassic Worldfranchise, signing on to reprise their roles from 2015’sJurassic World. The two will join fellow returning actors Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, who both starred in the 2018 sequelJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
It’ll be a big class reunion forJurassic World 3, which also sees the return of longtime franchise stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum. You have to wonder what kind of crisis will reunite so many experts who have crossed paths with rampaging dinosaurs, but it will likely be one of the global variety, especially after the end ofJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomsaw dinosaurs escaping their habitat of Isla Nublar and descending on the rest of the world. Not many details are known about the plot ofJurassic World 3, but we can assume that the world must deal with a massive escaped dinosaur crisis.
So how do Johnson and Sy’s characters factor in? Johnson played Lowery Cruthers, a control room operator at the Jurassic World theme park island who stole the scenes with his sardonic, self-deprecating wit — and in my opinion would have been a much better foil to Bryce Dallas Howard’s uptight boss than Chris Pratt. But with Johnson’s rapid rise to leading man status after his heartfelt and hilarious turn inSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, perhaps he’ll get his due inJurassic World 3. Sy, in the meanwhile, played Barry Sembene, a velociraptor trainer and colleague of Pratt’s character whose skills will likely come in handy with the dinosaur crisis. Both Lowery and Barry made it off the island alive at the end ofJurassic World.
Also set to star in the yet-untitledJurassic World 3are Mamoudou Athie and DeWanda Wise.
