There has also been talk that the movie may deal with the aspect ofweaponized dinosaurs, which was slightly touched on in the original.Vincent D’Onofrio’s character Hoskins speaks about the weapon potential for these dinosaurs, in particular, the raptors trained by Owen Grady (Chris Pratt).

Wong(Dr. Henry Wu) are all reprising their roles from the 2015 blockbusterJurassic World. Among the several new cast members coming aboard areRafe Spall,Toby Jones,Justice Smith,Daniella Pinedaand, the most recent addition,Ted Levine.
