A number of " soft " enfranchisement reboots slay theaters in 2015 and none were more commercially - successful than the newJurassic ParkandStar Warsmovies;Jurassic WorldandStar Wars : The Force Awakens . Rian Johnson has end up yield on the followup toThe Force Awakens , presently name to   as simplyStar war : Episode VIII , and is now editing the film for a 2017 button . Meanwhile , conductor Juan Antonio Bayona is pitch up to get the cameras rolling onJurassic World 2(as it ’s known for now )   ahead of time next yr , for a summertime 2018 release date .

Similar toEpisode VIII , specific plot details for theJurassic Worldsequel are being continue under lock chamber and key at this stage . It is known   thatJurassic Worldstars Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt are reprising their roles as Claire and Owen in the nextJurassicadventure , and that Bayona ’s background in horror / thriller moviemaking   ( see his acclaimed supernatural horror taleThe Orphanageand tsunami disaster filmThe Impossible ) will be reflected in the sequel . The film is similarly   being described as specifically"more suspenseful and scary"than its predecessor byJurassic World 2co - screenwriter Colin Trevorrow ( who also co - wrote / directedJurassic World ) .

Varietyis reporting that Toby Jones and Rafe Spall are presently signing on   for   roles inJurassic World 2 , joining Howard and Pratt as member of the film ’s   principal cast .   The outlet also reports that   testing for two additional"key"roles   in the sequel is now getting underway , but does n’t enlarge beyond that .

Jones and Spall are both fairly prolific English character doer who are no alien to bulge genre fare ; with Jones having play Dr. Arnim Zola in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Claudius Templesmith inThe Hunger Gamesseries , while Spall is perhaps most ( in)famously known as the well - intentioned , if also uninitiate , biologist Millburn in Ridley Scott’sPrometheus . Jones can next be seen playing themystery villain inSherlockseason 4 , whereas Spall come along on the minor screen earlier this twelvemonth in Cameron Crowe ’s now - canceled Showtime TV serial publication , Roadies .

The report fromVarietyoffers no details   about the part whom Jones and Spall will be play in theJurassic Worldsequel , nor what the other two " key " roles being examine for the new dino escapade are . Jake Johnson has say that , until further posting , he ’s not going to be reprising hisJurassic Worldrole ( as the Jurassic World attraction ’s control room worker / geek   Lowery Cruther ) in the sequel . It stand to reason that other noteworthy human role player from the firstJurassic Worldmovie also wo n’t be appearing in the 2d installing -   and notjustthose who had   become dinosaur chow by the end of the film , either - making elbow room for others to take their musca volitans .

It ’s plausible that neither Nick Robinson nor Ty Simpkins will reprise theirJurassic Worldroles in a significant capability in the subsequence , for related reason . The unseasoned actor ' characters ( Zach and Gray )   chiefly served to advanceClaire ’s graphic symbol arc in the firstJurassic World ; now that they have fulfil that purpose , there ’s a sane chance that   theJurassic Worldsequel will featured   a dissimilar pair of underage characters , rather . TheJurassic Parkfranchise has a tradition of changing up its   kid doer for   each instalment , so that may yet continue withJurassic World 2 . Those   two key part being test now might even be for another pair of youngsters who end up having to bleed for their lives from dinosaur in the nextJurassicmovie .
