Outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Pratt found his footing in Jurassic World. After three installments, the actor still keeps his door ajar in case he gets a call to return to the beloved franchise.
For some fans, they have had enough of Pratt dealing and running with dinosaurs. In fact, he has another huge franchise under his belt, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which he can focus on and try to expand.
Chris Pratt Wants To Return In Jurassic World Reboot
During an interview with CBR, actor Chris Pratt revealed he is open to returning in the upcoming Gareth Edwards film.
Hey, never say never. Maybe. Maybe I return. Maybe I don’t. You’ll just have to tune in to find out. I know I’ll be first in line, whether I’m in it or not.
Early this year, The Hollywood Reporter shared that “the studio is deep into the development of an all-new Jurassic World movie and has David Koepp back at the keyboard.” The latter penned the original 1993 Jurassic Park script which Steven Spielberg famously directed.
Colin Trevorrow, helmer of Jurassic World: Dominion, revealed in an interview with Empire that he “did something different than the other films in order to change the DNA of the franchise.” There was indeed a remarkable change in the plot, a move that defined fresh opportunities to tell more tales.
His version told “a story about characters in a world in which they coexist with dinosaurs” so it’s exciting to think what Edwards may have in store for fans.
The upcoming project has been labeled as the “new Jurassic era” so it might rule out the chance of Pratt and his costar, Bryce Dallas Howard, reprising their roles. The Jurassic Park franchise remains a flagship for Universal Pictures, with the first installment changing the game of visual effects.
Pratt’s fellow MCU stars like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have already started finding successful projects outside of the superhero realm. The former has already won an Oscar for his Oppenheimer performance while the latter has been doing a lot of small-budget films such as The Gray Man and Ghosted.
Fans Aren’t Excited To See Chris Pratt Return In Jurassic World 4
Fans do not share the same sentiment as Chris Pratt with his potential return to the franchise. Many have been protesting that he needs to move on and find other projects and hand the upcoming movie to the newcomers. Check out their tweets below:
I love you Chris but you had your time! Let this be a new trilogy with a new cast

This guy can't move on to other things. Go away already

Indeed, Pratt has a lot of options outside of the Jurassic World films now that he’s done with MCU. The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a raging success after it earned $1.3 billion worldwide against a budget of $100 million.
The actor’s latest project, The Garfield Movie, just arrived in theaters this month. Pratt is absolutely nailing it as a voice actor!
Meanwhile, Jurassic World 4 is slated for a July 2, 2025 release.
