Colin Trevorrow Teases New Dino in ‘Jurassic World Dominion’: “I Wanted Something That Felt Like the Joker”

"It just wants to watch the world burn," Trevorrow said of the Giganotosaurus' personality.

The director previewed the new threat in an interview teaser with Empire magazine published Saturday, in which he revealed its name and origins. Called the Giganotosaurus — or "Giga" for short — Dominion's big bad gets its origins from a real-life source. Unlike the prior films' Indominus and the Indoraptor, both born as genetic hybrids, the theropod (or dinosaur characterized in part for its three-toed limbs) was the product of the Late Cretaceous period.




"I wanted something that felt like the Joker," Trevorrow said of Giga's personality as the film's big dino terror. "It just wants to watch the world burn."

We live in a Jurassic Society?

Reading the quote, Jurassic Park/Movies have just been Kaiju movies since the first one, so fucking whatever. Why not.

I only watched the first Jurassic World movie. Is the second worth watching?

So are people only excited for this off the back of the original trio reuniting? I've seen A LOT of positivity surrounding this one in particular, which is odd considering Fallen Kingdom exists.

Also, because I'm a nerd, I looked up Gigantosaurus, and its a sauropod known from only a few bones found in 1869, so if its based on a cretaceous therapod they have stolen the name of a completely different dino.

Is that joker energy?

Rise of Skywalker was so bad that people pretended that this guy was the solution.

Giga's going to drop "you're in my dominion now" and the whole theatre will explode with applause.

Am I understanding this right?

He picked an actual, historical dinosaur a la Spinosaurus, and wants to give it Joker-motives? To an animal?

That's like making a movie with the villain being a dog who believes in wiping out half of all life in the universe. How is the audience supposed to get that??

His Episode IX would have been bad, but it would have still been better than Rise of Skywalker, probably.

From the first draft he made, it would have been bad in the same way that the prequels were bad: Kind of dumb, but the big ideas were good. Probably better acting (and CGI), of course.
