Jurassic World 2 — No High Heels for Bryce Dallas Howard

Details on the sequel are slim, but Bayona seems like a great choice for the helm. He has promised a “darker” sequel that deals with the issues animal abuse, and if Howard’s character has a more consequential role to play, it’s all the better. These creative choices could come as a solid change of pace to the tone that Colin Trevorrow brought to Jurassic World. Could the sequel be a better and smarter movie than fans are expecting?

Jurassic World 2 has a lot of responsibility on its shoulders, the least of which is the $1.7 billion box office of its predecessor. It remains to be seen if the film can bring the necessary goods to make a worthy and successful sequel to one of the most cherished franchises of all time. Luckily, it’s already exhibiting a number of promising elements and ensuring each lead character gets their due is definitely a step in the right direction.
