Having made his brief return to the franchise in last year’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it seems that Jeff Goldblum will be reprising the role of Dr. Ian Malcolm again in 2021’s Jurassic World 3 – and this time he’ll be joined by fellow Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill (Dr. Alan Grant) and Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler).

During an interview with MTV, Bryce Dallas Howard was asked about the rumors linking Neill, Dern and Goldblum to the final chapter of the Jurassic World trilogy, and it seems she’s let the cat out of the bag with her response; check it out here, via Jurassic Outpost:

Howard had previously expressed her hope that Jurassic World 3 would see the return of more characters from the earlier movies in order “to bring the entire saga together”, and it looks as though she has now gotten her wish.
