Newly released plot details reveal that Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire Dearing and Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady return to Isla Nublar to evacuate the remaining dinosaurs now at risk because of a reawakened volcano. It appears they may be “literally blowing up the island,” as well, according to Pratt.
The film will also up the ante on the number of dinosaurs, as Crowley says, “in this Jurassic World, you will see more dinosaurs than you’ve ever seen before.”
