Josh Brolin might run from – or be hunting – digital dinosaurs in Jurassic World, the fourth chapter in the ongoing Jurassic Park franchise.
Variety reports that Brolin is “in early talks” to join the sequel, which will be directed by Safety Not Guaranteed filmmaker Colin Trevorrow. Brolin reportedly would join an ensemble that includes young actors Ty Simpkins (Iron Man 3) and Nick Robinson (The Kings of Summer). Brolin also might act alongside Bryce Dallas Howard, who has been mentioned for the movie in the past – and is included in the Variety article – but has not yet been confirmed for the new sequel.
Some details are starting to surface, confirming what original rumors. While Variety acknowledges that plot details are “unknown” for Trevorrow and co-writer Derek Connolly’s script, the trade does report that Simpkins and Robinson will play siblings, leaving us to think that Howard and Brolin (if they land the roles) could play parents in the movie.
Brolin reportedly was looked at for the lead role by Jurassic World producers when they were trying to cast the sequel earlier. Interestingly enough, Brolin also was in the mix for the Batman role in Zack Snyder’s untitled Batman-Superman movie, but lost out to Ben Affleck.
