Jurassic World Dominion: 10 Original Trilogy Characters We Hope Will Return
With Grant, Sattler, and Malcolm joining the new cast, could other original cast members appear too?
We're one year away from Jurassic World: Dominion and it's safe to say that this is going to be the biggest chapter in the series yet. This won't be the conclusion of the franchise, but rather, "the start of a new era". It seems that the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will have such catastrophic consequences that can't be resolved in a single movie.
While it'll be interesting to see how Owen Grady and Claire Dearing survive the fallout (and address the whole human cloning issue), fans are most excited to see the return of the original cast.
Sam Neil and Laura Dern are making a return to the franchise, joining Jeff Goldblum and BD Wong once again. Hopefully, all four of their characters will receive more than a quick cameo. However, with so much of the story still uncovered, we have to wonder if any other characters from the original trilogy will pop up in the global madness.
Even though most characters of significance were turned into dino dung, a handful of notable faces survived their walk in the park.
7. Roland Tembo
Sadly, our first entry is more of an honorable mention than a prediction.
In The Lost World, few members of InGen's team were worth rooting for. Roland Tembo was the exception. A big-game hunter, Tembo took point on the expedition to help InGen capture as many dinosaurs as possible. His reward? The opportunity to hunt the ultimate game, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Somehow, the master hunter turned the all-mighty predator into his prey, taking the beast down with a rifle and two stones the size of grapefruits. After achieving his goal, he's remorseful that one of his companions didn't survive the trip to the island.
We can assume that Tembo would have walked quietly and contently into the sunset, but his regret would have certainly been compounded once he realized that the very T-rex he took down went on a San Diego rampage.
As the only man in the world to successfully hunt a T-Rex and live, it would be great to see Tembo hunt these beasts again on an urban game trail.
Unfortunately, actor Pete Postlethwaite passed away in 2011, and although he could be recast, such a great actor deserves to have his great character laid to rest as well.
