While fans already knew that the cast of theJurassic ParkandJurassic Worldfranchises would cross paths inDominion, the circumstances behind their meeting were unknown. Now, Universal’s newJurassic World Dominiontraileroffers some more insight into the story by opening with a reunion between Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady and his Velociraptor companion Blue, who has had a baby since she escaped into the wilderness of the mainland. However, the infant whom fans have dubbed “Baby Blue” is abducted by unknown individuals, prompting Owen to promise Blue that he’ll bring back her child. What follows is a series of action shots featuring dinosaurs on the mainland, some of which mind their own business in the wild while others terrorize citizens.
Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm, reunited with Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, warns his friends that the “Doomsday Clock” might be out of time, though precise details on what prompts this reunification remain unclear. The newJurassic World Dominiontrailer concludes with Owen Grady, Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire Dearing, and Isabella Sermon’s Maisie Lockwood colliding with the aforementioned trio ofJurassic Parkicons. Of course, this meeting is interrupted by the gigantosaurus, a deadly new dinosaur making itsJurassicfranchise debut, which Grant describes as the “biggest carnivore the world has ever seen.”
Needless to say, the newJurassic World Dominiontrailer provides all the dinosaur action fans could ever want. However, the return of Neill, Dern, and Goldblum may be the most exciting aspect of this film, especially to those who feel the latestJurassic Parksequels failto live up to the original.
Regardless of how critics feel, theJurassic Parksequels have all proven to be successful at the box office. Of course, the world is still in the midst of a real crisis with COVID-19 still raging, so time will tell if audiences are still willing to head to theaters for the dinosaur spectacle.
Jurassic World Dominionis scheduled to be released in theaters on May 24, 2025.
