The Classic T-Rex Will Return in ‘Jurassic World 2’!
You ever see something in a movie that’s so cool you just want to cry? That’s exactly how I felt during the epic finale of Jurassic World, when the T-Rex from Jurassic Park was unleashed to do battle with Indominus Rex. Of course, the film ended with the T-Rex (with a little help from the Mososaurus) winning the fight and triumphantly roaring atop the titular theme park.
So what’s next? Will that iconic T-Rex, dubbed “Rexy” by fans, be making a return in the upcoming Jurassic World 2? Producer Colin Trevorrow just confirmed that yes, she will!

The cast includes the returning Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt alongside Ted Levine, Daniella Pineda, Geraldine Chaplin, Justice Smith, Rafe Spall and Toby Jones.
Colin Trevorrow co-wrote the screenplay with Derek Connolly, and will exec produce with Steven Spielberg. Belén Atienza, Patrick Crowley and Frank Marshall will produce.
The 2015 feature grossed $1.67 billion at the global box office, becoming the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time.
The park opens again on June 22, 2018.
In the wake of the first official image being unleashed this morning (seen above), Focus Features has now also released the first official synopsis for Robert Eggers’ Werwulf.
Here’s the logline: “Witness Robert Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet. Focus Features presents Werwulf, a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation and the devil within.”
Additionally, Eggers has revealed some exciting details in a chat with Esquire today. Of particular note, don’t expect to see classic werewolf movie cliches in Eggers’ Werwulf.
“The cool thing about going back into the past is that you can kind of hit a reset button,” Eggers explains. “So all the clichés of being bitten by a werewolf and silver bullets and a lot of the stuff that has become almost campy doesn’t exist in the mythology of this movie.”
Eggers continues that thought, “So you don’t need to have seen Lon Chaney Jr.’s The Wolf Man or An American Werewolf in London to get what’s going on here.”
Instead, Eggers’ inspirations dig back much further than those classic tales.
He explains, “I learned that basically because of protections for the wool trade, there was a big effort to get rid of all the wolves in England. It was pretty successful. So the movie takes place around 1300, and that’s as late as it could be because once there were no wolves in England, there was no more werewolf lore in England.”
“That became interesting, that it was going to be set so medieval,” Eggers adds.
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
