Jurassic World: Dominion will bring the Jurassic World trilogy to a close, linking directly to the original Jurassic Park movies by bringing back original stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum for the finale. However, producer Frank Marshall has been quick to point out that while this is the final movie in the current trilogy, it does not mean this will be the final film in the franchise, and Jurassic World 4 is a real possibility if the story is there.

Jurassic World: Dominion has been waiting over a year for release and will finally hit theaters in June. The film will finally come good on the promise that has been hidden in plain sight for a long while, bring a Jurassic World to life as the dinosaurs and humans are, in the words of Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcolm, "thrown back into the mix together," which does not seem to be working too well judging by the clips already released from the movie. Along with the returning Jurassic Park stars are current franchise leads Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, who will all be coming together to…well, we don't currently know. While the opening segment of the movie has already been released online, the movie still hasn't had an official trailer and plot details are being kept well under wraps.

Speaking recently to /Film, producer Frank Marshall discussed the upcoming movie and directly addressed whether this is the end of the movie series. While he did not confirm Jurassic World 4 by name, he laid down some solid hints that this is by no means the end of the dinosaur franchise. He said:

"I think that 'Dominion's' going to wrap up this trilogy, but we're not resting on our laurels. We're going to sit down, and we're going to see what the future is. We have that wonderful series, 'Camp Cretaceous,' on Netflix. We obviously want to make quality, good movies with great storytelling, great writers and directors, but we're definitely looking to do more in the 'Jurassic' world."

Even since the first ominous poster for Jurassic Park arrived in 1993, showing a T-Rex skeleton against a red background, the Michael Crichton penned story of genetics gone wrong has continued to tap in the endless fascination with prehistoric beasts of the past and has used it to full advantage over the last three decades. While the third movie in the original Jurassic Park trilogy was something of a misstep in the franchise, Jurassic World arrived as the biggest movie of the year and one of the biggest of all time.

With the franchise already branching out into TV with the animated series Camp Cretaceous, which initially weaved a brand new story around the events of Jurassic World, along with the hype around Jurassic World: Dominion, there is clearly a lot still to come in the future. What form this will take and what direction it will head in is something we may get a better idea of in June when Jurassic World: Dominion roars in theaters after a long delay.
