Tonight we've all received word that Jeff Goldblum will be returning to the Jurassic Park franchise, in his iconic role as Dr. Ian Malcolm. Let's take a look at the reporting from THR.
“Jeff Goldblum is returning to the land of dinosaurs.
The actor, who co-starred in 1993’s Jurassic Park and 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, will appear in Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s next Jurassic World film.”
So they didn't reveal much of anything about his return just yet, but he will be appearing in the film. In what capacity is the question. We assume Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will still assume the leading roles, but will Goldblum step up to a lead with them, or will it be more of a cameo?
Jurassic World obviously set up his reintroduction to the franchise by including his book throughout the film and the constant reminder of Chaos Theory with either the drops of blood in typical chaotic fashion and the state of Lowery's desk. It was only a matter of time before he was announced.
