‘Jurassic World 3’ Will Be Like ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ According To Chris Pratt
Jurassic World 3is starting to have quite a loaded cast. In addition to returningJurassic Worldseries leadsChris PrattandBryce Dallas Howard,Jurassic World 3is getting the originalJurassic Parkgang back together, withLaura Dern, Sam Neill, andJeff Goldblumset to reprise their roles as Dr. Ellie Satler, Dr. Alan Grant, and Dr. Ian Malcolm, respectively.
And as the cast grows, with newcomers like sci-fi TV regular Dichen Lachman and most recently,VenomactorScott Haze, theJurassic World 3cast is starting to look overwhelmingly jam-packed. The only equivalent could beAvengers: Endgame, at least, according to Pratt, who compared the upcomingColin Trevorrowdinosaur flick to another big franchise in which he appeared.
Like a genetically engineered dinosaur, theJurassic World 3cast just keeps growing to gargantuan size. The latest actor to join theJurassic World 3cast is Scott Haze (Venom, Midnight Special), according toDeadline, on the heels of Dichen Lachman’scastingyesterday. Haze will be joining a cast that includes, in addition to the aforementioned returning stars, Jake Johnson and Omar Sy fromJurassic World, and newcomers Mamoudou Athie and DeWanda Wise.
It’s a pretty packed cast, even for a creature feature where the majority of them will inevitably end up eaten. But that lends to its appeal, Pratt recently said during an appearance onThe Ellen DeGeneres Showto promote his new Pixar filmOnward. TheJurassic World 3star spoke about the return of the originalJurassic Parkseries cast, comparing the team-up between new and old franchise stars to last year’s massiveAvengers: Endgame,a movie in which he also starred:
“This feels like it. I’m not allowed to say anything… It’s got everybody. It’s got pretty much everybody in it. Maybe I just blew it, but I don’t care. All the cast from the original Jurassic Park is coming back. It’s going to feel very much like how Endgame brought everything together for Marvel.”
It certainly is an exciting reunion for Dern, Neill, and Goldblum, who haven’t appeared all together onscreen since the original 1993Jurassic Park. All three actors have appeared at various points in the franchise, with Goldblum starring inThe Lost Worldand making a cameo in 2018’sFallen Kingdom, while Neill starred inJurassic Park III.There aren’t details yet on how involved the three stars are inJurassic World 3, but Pratt’s comparisons toEndgamesuggest they’ll all appear at the end to vaporize the dinosaurs in a giant battle. Maybe.
Production forJurassic World 3begins soon, according to Pratt, who told Degeneres he leaves this week and will be “shooting for a long time.”
“It’s a big one,” Pratt said. “It’s about close to 100 shoot days. It’s a massive movie. It’s a big movie. We’ll be all over the world. The story is really, really engaging. Really cool. It’s gonna be big.”
