We're now only two nights away from the eagerly awaited trailer debut for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and with the clock ticking down, Entertainment Weekly has released a brand new photo of a Baryonyx - one of many new dinosaurs set to debut in the upcoming sequel - as well as a ton of cool new plot details.
First up, the film will pick up several years after the events of 2015's Jurassic World with Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) seemingly at a complicated point in their burgeoning relationship. Howard explains “Claire’s founded an organization, Dinosaur Protection Group, and they’re finding a way to get these dinosaurs off the island." However, when an extinction-level event threatens to end all dinosaur life on Isla Nublar as we know it, "She reaches out to Owen Grady to let him know this is happening. When you see them at the beginning of this story, you get caught up as to what’s going on... But it’s not what you would necessarily expect.”
As for the one major returning player, director J.A. Bayona (The Impossible; A Monster Calls) teases “I had to overcome the impact of being in front of Ian Malcolm. After so many years, Jeff Goldblum was in front of a camera again talking about dinosaurs!” Well, after his scene-stealing performance as The Grandmaster in Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok brought him back into the spotlight, it should be an even bigger treat to see Goldblum step back into arguably his most iconic role to date, Dr. Ian Malcolm, next June.
