The newJurassic Worldfilm continues to round out its cast of new characters and/or dinosaur chow. The latest addition:Dead Boy Detectives’David Iacono. Iacono will join the ensemble of next summer’s Triassic tentpole, according toThe Hollywood Reporter. So far, any plot or character details of the new films are being kept sealed away tighter than InGen’s frozen dinosaur embryos — save for that it will be a fresh start for the franchise, without any returning characters from the previous films.
Iacono joins a cast that already includes big names likeScarlett Johansson,Mahershala Ali,Jonathan Bailey,Rupert Friend, andManuel Garcia-Rulfo. The film is expected to go into production in the UK next month. To quoteJurassic Park’sIan Malcolm, the production “must go faster”, because Universal has already targeted a release date of August 12, 2025. DirectorGareth Edwardsis going to have to bring all hismonster-wrangling skillsto bear to get the film in for next summer’s blockbuster season.
