We’ve Got Dodgson Here! Campbell Scott Joins ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ in Iconic Role

Dodgson, Dodson, we’ve got Dodgson here! Breaking just now from Collider, Campbell Scott has joined Jurassic World: Dominion to play the iconic role.

Jurassic fans know we haven’t heard a word about the fate of Dodgson since 1993’s Jurassic Park. Even then, all we got was a few minute cameo where we find out he works for an unnamed company and is trying to acquire Ingen’s dinosaur embryos via Dennis Nedry’s shaving cream CryoCan. Fans of the novel will recall Dodgson plays a much larger role in Crichton’s original story: He plays the head of rival genetics corporation, BioSyn, and ruthlessly attempts to further his agenda of putting his company at the top of the industry.

It’s been confirmed that Dodgson has since been promoted to the CEO of BioSyn, and as an audience we will be re-introduced to him as an “Inspirational, Steve Jobs-type” of industry leader.

Scott’s casting as Dodgson means big implications for the direction Dominion is heading. A confirmation of Dodgson inevitably means Biosyn will play a large role in driving the story forward. Could Biosyn representatives perhaps attended the dinosaur auction in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom? Have they progressed to human cloning and need Maisie for some reason? Did they obtain the assumed lost CryoCan in 93, and have then been creating their own dinosaurs all along? The possibilities are endless, which leaves us excited to see what Colin Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael will present on screen.

*Dodgson was originally played by Cameron Thor in Jurassic Park – the role has been recast for Jurassic World Dominion due to Thor’s conviction as a sex offender.*

Campbell Scott is an American actor best known for his roles as Mark Usher on House of Cards, Joseph Tobin on Damages, and Richard Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. We can’t wait to see what he brings to the character of Dodgson in the Jurassic universe!

What do you think Dodgson and Biosyn have been up to all this time? Are they still after dinosaur embryos or has Biosyn already obtained them long ago, and moved on to even more nefarious plans since the fall of Ingen?
