00:00Hello friends, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom is finally out, and so it's time to speculate

00:04about where the franchise will go next.

00:06This week on Heat Vision Breakdown, we look forward to everything that could happen in

00:09the future of the Jurassic franchise.

00:11Be warned, this video contains spoilers.

00:13Oh no, it's a Spoilersaurus Rex!

00:20Fallen Kingdom builds upon an idea introduced in 2015's Jurassic World, that dinosaurs could

00:25be weaponized.

00:26Thanks Chris Pratt, you just had to get all chummy with raptors, didn't you?

00:29The film sees shady characters from all over the world bidding on dangerous dinos, and

00:33while the animals don't ultimately end up in the hands of said shady characters, unless

00:37they somehow took them away before all hell broke loose at that auction, they do end up

00:40free to roam the world.

00:42As Jeff Goldbloom's Ian Malcolm says in the final moments of the film, the Earth truly

00:46has become Jurassic World, that's the title of the movie, a world where dinosaurs and

00:50humans will now be forced to interact, or at least that northern California neighborhood

00:54Blue seems ready to make her new home.

00:55A post-credits scene also sees pterodactyls flying around a recreation of Eiffel Tower

01:00on the Las Vegas Strip, so it's clear some of the swimming and flying dinosaurs from the

01:03island made it to other parts of the world as well.

01:05And then after being stuck on an exploding volcanic island, they're looking to lounge

01:08by the pool at the Bellagio and taking a Cirque de Salatio.

01:10Regardless, Fallen Kingdom's ending is a big step forward for the franchise, so the logical

01:16question is, what's next?

01:18Jurassic World helmer Colin Trevorrow, who wrote Fallen Kingdom with writing partner Derek

01:22Connelly, will return to the director's chair for the third installment, Hitting Theaters

01:25June 11, 2021.

01:27This time around, the franchise is getting a female perspective, with Pacific Rim Uprising

01:31screenwriter Emily Carmichael penning the script with Trevorrow, a much-needed addition

01:35considering the hoopla raised by Claire's high heels in the original film.

01:38Dr. Malcolm's worrying designation of a new Jurassic World shouldn't be taken literally.

01:42The Earth is not about to be overrun by dinosaurs, considering only about a dozen of the dinosaurs

01:46actually escaped, all of them different species and all of them female, so they likely aren't

01:50going to be mating to produce more dinosaurs that will eventually overrun the world.

01:54Though for a franchise that has really leaned into the whole dinosaur hybridization angle,

01:58maybe the idea of a T-Rex and a Triceratops having a love child isn't that far-fetched.

02:01What would it look like?

02:04It seems more likely, however, that Jurassic World 3 will further explore the notion that Dr.

02:08Malcolm suggests.

02:09The war of the future will be fought with genetic weapons.

02:12Pandora's box has been opened, and the technologies that made dinosaur resurrection popular may

02:16spark an arms race that fundamentally changes the world.

02:19We also saw that it's not just dinosaurs that are being genetically engineered.

02:22As the character of Maisie is, brace yourself, a clone.

02:26Listen, if you have issues with genetically engineered humans being weaponized, I have some bad news

02:32for you about Captain America.

02:33Dr. Henry Wu, the scientist with a capital G god complex, played by BD Wong, escapes with

02:40untold amounts of knowledge, again, like he does in every single movie.

02:44And he will undoubtedly be using it to create more genetically enhanced dinosaurs like the

02:48Indominus Rex of the first Jurassic World and the Indoraptor of Fallen Kingdom.

02:52It's almost guaranteed a third hybrid dinosaur will be introduced in the next installment.

02:56My guess is they'll lean full tilt into product placement and just call it the Jimmy

02:59Buffett Margaritasaur.

03:00There's also an intriguing opportunity for Jurassic World to take a play out of the recent

03:04Planet of the Apes trilogy, in which the apes actually became the protagonist, not the humans.

03:09Who's the real animal?

03:10Fallen Kingdom establishes Blue as perhaps the most valuable living organism on the planet,

03:14save maybe BD Wong, who can create life as easily as most of us make microwave nachos,

03:19both because of her intelligence and groundbreaking ability to empathize.

03:22She could be exploited and forced to raise and lead an army of dinosaurs, but perhaps she

03:27could also be used to help usher in a society of peace-loving velociraptors, similar to

03:31how Andy Serkis' Caesar shows the apes their true potential.

03:35Or maybe she'll just partner with Chris Pratt and we'll get a buddy cop movie.

03:38Fallen Kingdom managed to make its audience empathize with dinosaurs in a way not seen since

03:41Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park made audiences tear up with the sick Triceratops in the original.

03:47Director J.A. Bayona explored Blue's adorable upbringing and her empathy, and also highlighted

03:51the pathos of what a second dinosaur extinction would mean with a shot of the final dinosaur

03:56waiting for its death on the dock as our hero sped away on the final boat off Island Nublar.

04:00Continuing to emphasize the unexpected humanity of dinosaurs would be a way to keep the third

04:04installment fresh.

04:05Goldbloom's Malcolm asked an unintentionally meta question at the end of Jurassic World

04:08Fallen Kingdom.

04:09How many times must we see what happens when humans play God with dinosaurs?

04:13Indeed, after five movies, audiences may be asking themselves the same question.

04:17If there is one common theme in all the Jurassic films, it's that dinosaurs and humans do not

04:20get along, and also that being eaten is a really unpleasant way to go out.

04:26Fallen Kingdom showed hints of moving the story forward, something few other Jurassic titles

04:29have done.

04:30And the third installment, if it plays out on a more global scale, may have something new

04:34to say after all.

04:35Because in the words of Ian Malcolm, I sure hope you remember to wash your hands before

04:38you eat anything.

04:39Also, life finds a way.

04:41Words to look like.

04:43What do you want to see in Jurassic World 3?

04:45Do you want to see a buddy cop movie with Chris Pratt and Blue?

04:47Let us know in the comments below, and join us next week for an all-new

04:49We'll be right back!
