Variety is reporting that the cast of Universal Pictures' upcoming Jurassic World sequel has just added another key piece in Ted Levine, who is best known to audiences for his villainous turn as Buffalo Bill in 1991's Silence of the Lambs.

Levine is the latest new face to board the franchise, following Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger), Rafe Spall (Life of Pi), Justice Smith (The Get Down), and Daniella Pineda (The Originals), who will all join returning stars Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2), Bryce Dallas Howard (Black Mirror), and B.D. Wong (Gotham).
J.A. Bayona is directing (A Monster Calls, The Impossible) with a script from original Jurassic World helmer Colin Trevorrow and his writing partner Derek Connolly.
Production has been slated to begin this Spring in England, just a little over a year ahead of its expected June 22, 2018 release date.
