At the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, dinosaurs finally invaded the world of man and the minds of fans started going into overdrive as they imagined a third instalment with the massive beasts rampaging through cities. After all, an after-credits scene did show Pteranodons in Las Vegas, but director Colin Trevorrow may have now dashed those hopes.
Rather than taking things down a Planet of the Apes style route, though, the filmmaker intends on keeping things grounded and it does sound like he has some good ideas for the follow-up.
"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."
While it's a rather "boring" answer, it is one that makes sense and seeing the sort of scenarios Trevorrow describes could actually be more exciting than a T-Rex running through the streets of New York...right? Well, maybe not, but it's certainly a more grounded approach to things and it will be interesting to see where he decides to take the franchise.
