Jurassic World 3 Is Bringing Back Jurassic Park's Forgotten Villain

Jurassic World 3 is bringing back a forgotten villain from Jurassic Park. With the hype that surrounded the release of the original 1993 film, as well as the tidal wave of acclaim that followed afterward, there’s much to remember about Jurassic Park. To this day, the film is still being discussed, praised, and of course mined for ideas that can be used in future franchise entries. With the revival of the famed concept for 2015’s Jurassic World, Universal has maintained an enjoyable connection to the original film, liberally adding doses of familiarity to each successive installment.

In fact, even 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park has managed to have a small amount of influence on the upcoming Jurassic World: Dominion. The sequel introduced the concept of the dinosaurs (or at least two of them) being brought to civilization. Though the T-Rex’s all too brief romp through San Diego is likely going to be made to look incredibly meager by comparison, Jurassic World: Dominion's reported plans to focus on dinosaurs loose in civilization does have its roots in the franchise’s history.

As filming on Jurassic World: Dominion gets set to resume in London next month, Collider has reported on yet another link to Jurassic Park the new film will have. Apparently, the third and final film in the Jurassic World trilogy will feature the return of Jurassic Park’s long forgotten villain, Lewis Dodgson. Actor Cameron Thor originally portrayed the character in Jurassic Park, but Thor is currently serving a six- year prison sentence for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. Obviously the character has been recast for Jurassic World: Dominion as a result, and Campbell Scott (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) will now take on the role.

Jurassic Park fans will remember Dodgson from his meeting with Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight). While attempting to keep a low profile due to his plans to have Nedry steal dinosaur embryos, he quietly tells the Jurassic Park programmer that, given the public setting, they should be using aliases. Nedry’s famous response to this is pure ridicule, as he shouts “Dodgson! We’ve got Dodgson here!” In Jurassic World: Dominion, however, Dodgson has reportedly been promoted to head of Biosyn Genetics. It’s hard to say exactly where Dodgson’s shady dealings will take him in Jurassic World: Dominion, but as head of a corporation that may or may not have inherited Doctor Henry Wu’s collection of dinosaur embryos, the sky could be the limit. At the very least, such a scenario would certainly serve to elevate Dodgson’s weasel-like tendencies.

With the character of Dodgson returning for Jurassic World: Dominion, that now makes at least five of the original film’s characters confirmed for the sequel. After the lukewarm reception that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom received from critics and audiences, Jurassic World: Dominion is in need of upping the ante in a way that can still manage to feel organic and (at least to some extent) plausible. And given that Jurassic World: Dominion will be the final film in this particular trilogy, it already feels as though director Colin Trevorrow has his sights set on something that won’t be forgotten any time soon.
