Jeff Goldblum to Appear in JURASSIC WORLD Sequel

"Must go faster!" A familiar face from the original Jurassic Park trilogy will appear in Jurassic World 2, as THR reveals that Jeff Goldblum has been cast in the sequel.

According to THR, Jeff Goldblum will play a role in Jurassic World 2, the fifth film in the franchise, but it hasn't been confirmed what that role will be.

There are surely many fans who would love to see Goldblum play chaos theorist and stylish mathematician Ian Malcolm, the character from Michael Crichton's novel that he brought to life so memorably in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and its sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Goldblum's infinitely quotable take on Malcolm did not appear in Jurassic Park III, which instead featured the return of Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant and Laura Dern as Ellie.

Goldblum joins a cast that includes Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Justice Smith, James Cromwell, BD Wong, Ted Levine, Rafe Spall, and Toby Jones. Recently, genre fans saw Goldblum return to his role as David Levinson in Independence Day: Resurgence, and he will play the Grandmaster in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok.

J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) directs Jurassic World sequel from a screenplay by Colin Trevorrow (director of Jurassic World) and Derek Connolly, with Steven Spielberg and Trevorrow executive producing the project, and Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley also on board as producers. An Amblin Entertainment film, the Jurassic World sequel is scheduled to stomp into theaters via Universal Pictures beginning June 22nd, 2018.
