Truthfully, where else can Jurassic Park, or Jurassic World, go anymore? There have been five films that have suggested humans messing around with dinosaurs is a bad idea. Yet, Jurassic World 3 is a go for 2021, with director Colin Trevorrow returning to helm the film.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with the prehistoric creatures let out into the world, so the sequel will likely follow the events from there. While this is a plot that was explored, briefly, in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, there’s another interesting angle that the last two Jurassic World movies introduced: the genetic modification and weaponising of the dinosaurs. In other words, the whole premise of Dino-Riders.
If you’re unfamiliar with Dino-Riders, it was a popular Tyco toyline in the late ’80s, which had its own short-lived animated series. The series pitted the good Valorians against the bad Rulon Alliance on prehistoric Earth. The Valorians and Rulons both used the dinosaurs in their battles, riding and attaching weapons to the creatures. The toys proved to be a sensation due to their high levels of detail, originality, and the rising of popularity of dinosaurs in popular culture (remember, this was even before Jurassic Park hit cinemas).
Unfortunately, Dino-Riders had a short lifespan, hanging around for three years on the shelves before making way for other toylines. It was a normal thing back then. Even so, fans never forgot about it, and Mattel was reportedly interested in developing a live-action film in 2015—though the news has gone cold on that front.
While a Dino-Riders film might be unlikely right now, its elements could find a way into Jurassic World 3. After all, would any fan be disappointed to see Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady riding around on the weaponised velociraptor Blue? It’s been teased for so long that it’s the only logical—if we can even call this franchise that at this point—progression. Maybe a big battle will be necessary to save the planet from truly becoming overrun by dinosaurs?
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom made over $1.3 billion at the global box office, but its reviews were negative to mixed for the best part. Undoubtedly, the studio Universal Pictures won’t care about bad reviews if Jurassic World 3 pulls in a similar haul, but it might want to give fans a little more this time, especially with the returns of Sam Neill and Laura Dern to the franchise. And what would be more outlandish and cinema-worthy than humans riding around on dinosaurs and doing battle?

I hope so much that in Jurassic World 3 there will be:
-The Jurassic World 3 introduction scene similar to that of Jurassic Park 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHlHcy9ML58 where “Park” is replaced by “World”.
-The return of the old characters of the trilogy “Jurassic Park” (played by the same actors) alongside the new characters of the first 2 Jurassic World: Allan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Tim Murphy (Joseph Mazzello ), Alex Murphy (Ariana Richards), Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum), Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore), Kelly Malcom (Vanessa Lee Chester), Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn), Billy Brennan (Alessandro Nivola), maybe Charlie Ellie Sattler’s son seen in JP3, and Barry (Omar Sy) of Jurassic World.
-Blue meeting Alan Grant where the latter, at the beginning is wary of her but later learns to trust her and ends up teaming with Blue (with Barry too) when she asks him for help, to save Owen Grady or something else. Alan Grant would also use his “Velociraptor Resonance Chamber” (seen in Jurassic Park 3) for communicate with Blue and also call her when he is threatened by a predator or malicious humans or other type of help.
-Blue with a male raptor similar to those of Jurassic Park 3, where in the end they mate and have offspring. But I do not want “Blue” to die.
-Rexy/Roberta (or other tyrannosaur as Junior, the young T-rex of The Lost World Jurassic Park) fights and defeats the spinosaurus of JP3 in the middle of dozens or hundreds of terrified people fleeing the fight full of noise and destruction (such as falling trees or the destruction of buildings). And after defeating the spinosaurus, the t-rex roared victoriously as at the final scene of “Jurassic Park” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii70L1ep1hk under the eyes of many people. But most importantly, no dying t-rex, and no t-rex killed.
-A meeting between Alan Grant (with Ian Malcom and Ellie Sattler) and Rexy/Roberta: Rexy recognizes Alan by the smell, while Grant recognizes Rexy by his scars caused by a velociraptor in Jurassic Park. At first Grant is scared, but reassures himself soon after remembering that it was this t-rex that saved him before. After a calm and respectful exchange of views, Rexy leaves calmly, leaving Alan and the others reassured and happy.
-The suchomimus, Utahraptor, tarbosaurus, Ornithocheirus (of 12 meters wingspan), Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus, and some brachiosaurs in a scene similar to that of Jurassic Park 3 “Brachiosaurus on the Bank”
