The first one saw the Indominus Rex wreak havoc on Isla Nubar, eventually leading to the closure of the said island. In the follow-up film, BD Wong’s Dr. Henry Wu came up with another monstrosity known as the Indoraptor, which is much more raptor-like in size but just as deadly and vicious. As it turns out, the third film, Jurassic World: Dominion, will have the Giganotosaurus. According to Empire, Colin Trevorrow, who will reprise his role as the third film’s director, the Giganotosaurus will have a similar mindset to the iconic Batman supervillain, the Joker. Specifically, Trevorrow describes the Giganotosaurus as something that “just wants to watch the world burn.” What sets the Giganotosaurus apart from the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor is that it is based on a real dinosaur. Unlike the genetically modified antagonists of the Jurassic World films, the ancient reptile actually roamed the earth several millennia ago. Experts claim that the Giganotosaurus was one of the largest predators ever to roam the Earth as it was much heavier, longer, and more powerful than even the Tyrannosaurus rex, tipping the scales at up to 17,600 pounds. It will be interesting to see how Jurassic World: Dominion will try to explain why this is the first time that we’re going to see the massive creature, but we doubt if it will even bother to do so. In addition to comparing the Giganotosaurus to Joker, Treverrow also revealed a major plot point, saying that the film will revolve around how “BioSyn got the contract to house the dinosaurs that have been captured around the world via various governments,” under the guise of studying the animals for pharmaceutical purposes. However, as Treverrow explains, “there’s some other stuff going on.” Jurassic World: Dominion will take place four years following the events of 2018’s Fallen Kingdom with Isla Nublar now destroyed and the rest of humanity having to face the reality that we are no longer the apex predators of this planet. The first Jurassic World: Dominion trailer sheds some light on how this could all look. Of course, while fans are curious to find out how humans will adapt to living with dinosaurs, the biggest draw of the Jurassic World threequel has to be the return of the iconic Jurassic Park trio. Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant, and Ellie Sattler have not appeared in any Jurassic Park film together since the original film in 1993. After the first two films grossed nearly $3 billion at the global box office together, Jurassic World: Dominion will have to deal with high expectations once it premieres on June 10.
