"I understand people died, it was terrible, but - that first park was legit."
Jake Johnson (New Girl) had arguably the most memorable line from Universal Pictures' mega-blockbuster Jurassic World when he made a meta-reference to the original Jurassic Park, a film widely considered to be one of the greatest of all-time, but despite leaving a lasting impression on audiences in a fan-favorite role, it doesn't sound like he'll be back to man the controls of Paddock 9 in the eagerly awaited 2018 sequel.
According to Johnson himself, from what he's heard, his character, Lowery Cruthers, will not make a return in the yet-to-be titled Jurassic World sequel. Check out his tweet below:
Well, that's disappointing to say the least, but considering that the park is for all intents and purposes officially closed for business, it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that Cruthers, a Jurassic World employee, wouldn't be back for Round 2, especially after narrowly surviving the first time.
J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) is directing the untitled sequel with a script from Colin Trevorrow & Derek Connolly. The project is expected to go on floors early next year.
