Jurassic World Dominion is being called the epic conclusion to the Jurassic Saga. The film notably features the characters from the original trilogy that started with Jurassic Park (1993), bringing the old storylines full circle as it nears its end. The film takes the threat posed by the genetically manipulated dinosaur species, right amid human civilization, as Fallen Kingdom saw the animals escaping captivity and finally infiltrating the mainland.

Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World Trilogy was earlier marketed as a revitalization of the original series, with the story continuing more than a decade ahead in time. With Jurassic World Dominion, Trevorrow changes that and directly links his films to the Jurassic Park trilogy, creating a cinematic universe of its own.

Lead actor Chris Pratt, who plays Owen Grady in the Jurassic World Trilogy, has compared this move to Marvel Studios with Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with ComicBook.com, the actor talked about how Dominion compares to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame and completes a long-running story just like these two films did for the MCU’s three phases.

I think maybe Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame is a similar comp because you've got whatever that was... 10 years, 20-something films. All of these characters each had their own stories, their own trilogies, coming together. And you're like, 'This is wild.' You've seen these worlds collide. It feels the same way. You've got the Jurassic Park trilogy. You've got the Jurassic World trilogy, and it's this big epic conclusion.

Pratt’s comparisons draw from the fact that MCU has expanded its story over the years in the timeline and has established a thorough conclusion of multiple stories and character arcs. With the previous cast returning, Dominion is also heading similarly, giving closure to not just Jurassic World films, but also Jurassic Park films, as well as their characters.

Talking about if he’ll return to the role if ever the franchise is continued, Pratt added,

I mean, I guess it would probably... possibly? You'd want to leave it open to that possibility

Jurassic World Dominion is at Least an End to a Phase

Just like Avengers: Endgame, Jurassic World Dominion will end a big phase in the Jurassic Saga. Colin Trevorrow and Chris Pratt have both declared that the film will be an end of the story that these characters have continued over the last six films and that there are no plans for a sequel. On the other hand, Avengers Endgame has been continued by Phase Four of the MCU, which is bringing in new characters and story arcs to the fold. Still, Endgame did end The Infinity Saga, where several characters had their last in the franchise, leaving room for others to take on their mantle, or moving ahead in a new direction.

Talking about differences between Jurassic Saga and the MCU, Pratt said,

Now, at the end of Avengers ... They've continued to make these Marvel films, but that does feel like a phase that is over. It's rolled over into a new phase, you know? And of course, Marvel continues to do great things. I feel like it seems, it makes sense that Jurassic would continue to tell great stories, but I think Iron Man's gone.

Jurassic World Dominion will release on June 10, 2022, and will conclude the two trilogies with a legacy story that began with Steven Spielberg’s first entry in the franchise. Set four years after Fallen Kingdom, the film will see a conflict of animal rights ideologies, impact of ecological imbalance, and sudden shift in the food chain on the planet - bringing the prophesied dangers from the first film to reality.
