‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Will Not Be the End; Start of a ‘New Era’
In perhaps one of the least surprising, but still reassuring to hear confirmations yet, ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ will not mark the end of the Jurassic Park saga. While speaking to Collider, producer Frank Marshall had the following to say about Dominion’s place in the story as a whole:
“No [it’s not the conclusion of the franchise]. It’s the start of a new era. The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope.”
This isn’t all that surprising, given the end of ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ and the overall commercial success of the franchise. The dinosaurs are free within the world, and as Eli Mills said: you can’t put it back in the box. The possibilities are limitless now, and with things like a live action series in development at Amblin TV plus director Colin Trevorrow alluding to more films after JW3 in the past, the writing was on the wall.
We’re excited to see where the future of the franchise brings us, especially with possibilities of new writers and directors bringing their own unique styles and ideas to story as it further evolves. Until then, we have ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’, which is expected to resume filming in London shortly after all the proper COVID19 safety protocols are put into place, and schedules are realigned. While ‘Dominion’ may not be the end, we expect it to wrap up the stories of Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, and Owen Grady – the final chaotic turning point of events set into motion after John Hammond brought his dream into reality with Jurassic Park. As for who will lead the future films, we fully expect entirely new faces and stories, but occasional cameos aren’t out of the question.
