It's not a Jurassic Park movie without cannon-fodder humans, and it's also not a Jurassic Park movie without a wide shot of a T-Rex striking a majestic pose and letting off an earth-shattering roar.

This is one of many ways Fallen Kingdom will pay homage to earlier films in the franchise (another being the inclusion of Ian Malcolm). Bayona said as much during his chat with The Independent, where he talked about how these callbacks will impact the story:

"For Colin [Trevorrow, the film's writer] and I, it was about finding connections with the old trilogy - that makes it very rich as we are expanding Jurassic World but also finding new connections with Jurassic Park... it's kind of exciting when you find your connections take the story to a whole new level."

It sounds like fans of the franchise will not be disappointed after Jurassic World was rather light on connections to the older movies, and now that this new era of Jurassic stories has been set up, there's room to incorporate a bit more fan-service.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
