Colin Trevorrow Discusses Hopes For ‘Jurassic World 3’ After ‘Fallen Kingdom’

In 2015, Jurassic World opened in theaters and quickly became one of the highest-grossing films of all-time. The film, which was directed by Safety Not Guaranteed filmmaker Colin Trevorrow paved the way for two more sequels in this new trilogy set two decades after the events of the original Jurassic Park.  Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was also a massive success at the worldwide box office and now, Jurassic World 3 is set for a June 11, 2021 release with Trevorrow returning to the director’s chair after handing the reins over to J.A. Bayona on Fallen Kingdom. 

Recently, Trevorrow gave some hints as to what he expects to see from all the dinosaurs on the planet following the events of Fallen Kingdom. Now, Jurassic World is more than just an abandoned theme park and resort and has now become the entire planet as we know it.

With that in mind, some have speculated that dinosaurs would be coming together to terrorize cities much like how the T-Rex terrorized San Diego in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Trevorrow explained how he sees the state of the planet by the time Jurassic World 3 begins:

“I just have no idea what would motivate dinosaurs to terrorize a city. They can’t organize. Right now we’ve got lethal predators in wild areas surrounding cities all over the world. They don’t go pack hunting for humans in urban areas. The world I get excited about is the one where it’s possible that a dinosaur might run out in front of your car on a foggy backroad, or invade your campground looking for food. A world where dinosaur interaction is unlikely but possible—the same way we watch out for bears or sharks. We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don’t go to war with them. If that was the case, we’d have lost that war a long time ago.”

Trevorrow also sees the next film as a conclusion of not just this new trilogy, but all six films in the series that began in 1993:

“Emily and I call it Jurassic Park 6 because it’s fun, and that’s what it is to us. This is the conclusion of a story that began 25 years ago, and I think fans will be fired up when they see how much we’re connecting it to the source material. I know Jurassic World didn’t feel like a sequel in a traditional sense—the title change probably contributed to that—but it was. And so is this.”
