'Jurassic World: Dominion' Will Be The Culmination of All Six 'Jurassic' Movies

Jurassic World: Dominion is the third and final installment of the Jurassic World trilogy and the sixth Jurassic Park film overall. Director Colin Trevorrow recently opened up about what fans can expect in the upcoming film in the Jurassic franchise. What's exciting is that the original cast members of the first Jurassic Park movie (from 1993) are returning for Dominion. Say hello once again to Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Trevorrow told EW, It's a "true ensemble" cast and that the upcoming film is "a celebration of the whole franchise." 

"To me, [Dominion] is a culmination of one story that's been told," he says. "When you got to the end of the Jurassic Park trilogy, it may not have been as clear in what the complete story of those three movies was because they were a bit more episodic in the way that they were approached. But this trilogy is not that way. It's very much a serialized story."

He continued, "What was important for me was when you watch Dominion, you really feel like you are learning how much of a story that first set of movies were and how everything that happened in those movies actually informs what ultimately is able to happen in this. If kids who are born today are going to be presented with six Jurassic Park movies — you hope the parents will buy them the box set — you hope they are going to get to feel like they watch one long story."

The filmmaker also explained how Netflix's Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous fits into the dinosaur franchise. He hopes that the series will eventually stand as its own complete saga because it shares its own tale. But at the same time, it also maintains ties to its big-screen counterparts, including Dominion, the third film in the Jurassic World series, reports IGN.

"It's important to me, out of respect for the writers who are continuing to expand and create, to recognize [Camp Cretaceous] as clearly its own story and its own show," he told EW. "But this season — and if we're granted further opportunities to tell the story that we have [in season 3] — will keep weaving into the larger story and really inform some things, even in Dominion that will connect to discoveries made that I'm really excited about."

The second season of Camp Cretaceous will release on Netflix on January 22. As for The Jurassic World threequel, the film officially wrapped production last November. It is scheduled to release in theaters on June 10, 2022.
