"Jurassic World" star Nick Robinson has shared his thoughts on the upcoming sequel to Colin Trevorrow's hit film.
Robinson played the role of Zach, Gray's older brother and one of Claire Dearing's nephews, in the film. In his interview with Screen Rant at New York Comic-Con over the weekend, he said that he did not know the proceedings in the dinosaur follow-up film. The actor added that the events in the sequel was all very top secret, a "hush hush kind of stuff," and was cooking up something worthy.
Robinson also said that he was certain that the "Jurassic World" sequel was going to be a lot of new dinosaurs and new characters, not to mention that Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard were returning.
Since its release on June 12, Trevorrow's "Jurassic World" has grossed an estimated total of $1.7 billion on a global scale. Aside from Howard and Pratt, it also starred Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinsons, Judy Greer, Omar Sy, Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, and BD Wong, among others.
Trevorrow previously revealed in a "Jurassic World" podcast (via Coming Soon), that "Jurassic World 2" would not be about bigger and better dinosaurs, as fans saw in its predecessor. The filmmaker emphasized that the "Jurassic World" sequel will rise as a foundation on a much larger story about the relationship between man and the dinosaurs.
"Jurassic World 2" will be based on a line cited by Dr. Alan Grant, who was played by Sam Niell in Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" in 1993. "Dinosaurs and man, separated by 65 million years of evolution have been thrown back into the mix together. How can we know what to expect?," Grant said in Spielberg's film.
With "Jurassic World 2" in its early stage of development, exact details on the plot, characters, and cast are yet to be revealed.
"Jurassic World 2" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on June 22, 2018.
