Summary

  • Jurassic World 4 will continue the story of Jurassic World: Dominion, possibly exploring human cloning and dinosaur smuggling storylines.
  • Biosyn Valley's aftermath and legal troubles are likely to be a major focus in Jurassic World 4, creating new challenges for the characters.
  • The government's response to free-roaming dinosaurs and dinosaur rights advocacy groups will add depth to the Jurassic Park universe in the film.

Jurassic World 4 is officially happening, and these 10 unfinished storylines could be continued in the sequel. The six live-action Jurassic Park movies have created a pretty expansive universe so far, with them being full of all kinds of beloved characters and wacky events. Because of this, it is possible that Jurassic World 4 could build off of previous Jurassic Park stories in an attempt to craft its new film. Although Jurassic World 4 will probably focus on original characters, there are still a lot of loose ends in the franchise that Jurassic World Dominion didn't tie up.

A fourth Jurassic World movie has been officially confirmed, with it being revealed that Jurassic World 4 will start filming in July 2024 and is aiming for a 2025 release date. Although Jurassic World Dominion was purportedly the conclusion to the Jurassic World saga, fans of the franchise knew that this probably wasn't the case, as it was unlikely for the studio to let their billion-dollar franchise die. Details regarding Jurassic World 4's story and characters are still slim, but the film has all kinds of potential to continue these 10 unfinished Jurassic Park and Jurassic World storylines.

10 The Creation Of Human Cloning

Maisie Could Return

Of all the stories that the next Jurassic World movie should continue, the creation of human cloning is the most obvious. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom featured the surprise twist that the genetics experiments from the original Jurassic Park have traveled a long way, with human clones existing in the Jurassic World franchise. Maisie Lockwood discovers that she is a clone, with all kinds of research groups wanting her for different reasons. Maisie still exists in the Jurassic World franchise after the third film, and Jurassic World 4 can continue diving into this topic.

With Jurassic World’s new era set to begin in summer 2025, there are endless possibilities for where the dinosaur franchise could go next.

9 The Abandoned Biosyn Valley

It Is Bound To Be A Problem

Biosyn Valley is a massive facility run by Biosyn that was used to create, research, and experiment on dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals in Jurassic World Dominion. However, the facility is absolutely wrecked at the end of the trilogy, with the area being turned into a dinosaur sanctuary. Dinosaurs roaming free will undoubtedly change the ecosystem of Biosyn Valley, with the mass amount of dinosaurs making the area far more dangerous. Thus, Jurassic World 4 featuring Biosyn Valley as its main location would make perfect sense.

Continuing Dominion's Ending

Jurassic World Dominion ends with the main characters testifying against Biosyn, with the end of the film teasing a massive legal battle. Jurassic World 4 should delve into this, either showing the proceedings of the case or explaining what happened to the company in the aftermath of its legal troubles. This would wrap up the story of Jurassic World Dominion's main antagonists while further looking at how things like dinosaur experimentation would practically affect the real world.

7 Jurassic World Dominion's Jurassic Locusts

Some Had To Escape

The main villain story of Jurassic World Dominion centers around Biosyn sending out mutated locusts in order to destroy the world's crops. The ending of Jurassic World Dominion explains that they are stopped, but the explanation doesn't make much sense. Dr. Henry Wu releases a locust that carries a pathogen that will eradicate the swarms of Jurassic locusts. However, it is entirely plausible that some of the locusts would survive this attack. These Jurassic locusts would undoubtedly create massive problems for the world, something that Jurassic World 4 should explore.

6 Kayla Watts' Dinosaur Smuggling Business

Dominion's Most Interesting Addition

One of the most interesting details that Jurassic World Dominion introduces is the practice of dinosaur smuggling, something that plays into the dinosaur black market seen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Jurassic World Dominion introduced Kayla Watts as a dinosaur smuggler, but the film severely underused her - something that Jurassic World 4 can fix. Further delving into Kayla's time as a dinosaur smuggler could highlight a corner of the Jurassic Park franchise that has barely been explored, giving Jurassic World 4 a reason to exist.

5 The Government's Response To Dinosaurs Roaming Free

How Have They Handled It?

After the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, dinosaurs are roaming the Earth free, something that has shaken up the lives of everyone. Jurassic World Dominion shows off how the U.S. government has responded to this, with them having established a branch that specifically handles dinosaur-related incidents. Showing off more details on how the government has had to practically adapt to dealing with dinosaurs could be incredibly interesting, and Jurassic World 4 needs to continue showing how the United States has evolved.

4 The Dinosaur Rights Advocacy Groups

They Have A Lot Of Work To Do

Alongside developments in dinosaur handling from the government came the development of dinosaur rights advocacy groups, one of the most interesting additions to the Jurassic World movies. Claire and some of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's other characters are even seen working for one of these organizations in Jurassic World Dominion, and these groups need to come back in Jurassic World 4.

3 Vic Hoskins' Dinosaur Mercenaries

Continuing The Original Jurassic World Story

It is also possible that Jurassic World 4 could bring back an unfinished Jurassic World storyline in the form of Vic Hoskins' dinosaur mercenaries. In the original Jurassic World, Hoskins wants to use raptors in the military, something that gets shut down by the end of the film. Now that dinosaurs roam the Earth, however, it is likely that someone has managed to integrate dinosaur mercenaries into military operations, a scary path that Jurassic World 4 could go down.

2 InGen's Future After Jurassic World

What Happened To InGen?

InGen is the original genetics company in the Jurassic Park franchise, with it being the one founded by John Hammond. However, surprisingly few details have been revealed about the company's fate, something that could be explored in Jurassic World 4. After Hammond's death, InGen was bought by Masrani Global Corporation, with it continuing to operate in San Francisco. InGen has undoubtedly made some big developments since it was last seen in the late 1990s, and Jurassic World 4 should bring it back.

1 Lex & Tim's Original Jurassic Park Stories

The Perfect Characters To Bring Back

Jurassic World Dominion brought back many of the classic Jurassic Park characters, with two big exceptions: Lex and Tim. Lex and Tim are the kids from the original Jurassic Park, and while they were seen in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, they haven't been seen since. If the film still wants to bring back classic characters, Lex and Tim are the perfect options, with their original Jurassic Park stories being continued in Jurassic World 4.
