Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - 23 Easter Eggs & References Explained

20. Ricardo Delgado's "Age Of Reptiles"

The Age Of Reptiles
Dark Horse Comics

When Claire arrives at the office of her Dinosaur Protection Group, she gets on the phone with a politician by the name of "Congresswoman Delgado."

This really is one for the nerds, but this is most certainly a reference to comic book artist Ricardo Delgado, who created the popular Dark Horse comic The Age of Reptiles.

Coincidence, you say? Well, Delgado also worked on Jurassic Park III as a concept artist and storyboarder, primarily honing the design of the Spinosaurus. Delgado's not exactly a common name, so this feels like a pretty deliberate tip of the hat.
