Jurassic World: Dominion Runtime Reportedly Revealed, And It's the Longest in the Franchise - IGN

The runtime for Jurassic World: Dominion has reportedly been revealed, and it looks set to be the longest entry in the franchise.

One Take News and Collider confirmed through sources that Dominion will clock in at 2 hours 26 mins, making it the franchise's longest installment. The second trilogy-closer is almost an hour longer than Jurassic Park III, the shortest entry at 1 hour 32 mins, and nearly 20 minutes longer than The Lost World and Fallen Kingdom, the lengthiest entries at 2 hours 9 mins.

Jurassic World: Dominion is expected to cap off the latest trilogy, but not the entire series, with a story that takes place four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom. This time around, the world is forced to deal with some invasive dino species, including one that is particularly deadly, after the park's genetically altered inhabitants were sold off to various companies.

Director Colin Trevorrow previously spoke about how Dominion will sink its teeth into a larger story, one that will tie together the two trilogies and serve as "a celebration of the whole franchise." The next film will also break out more animatronic dinosaurs and practical effects than the two other Jurassic World movies, so it may just need those extra minutes.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will return for Jurassic World 3, and will be joined by original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum who will feature "all the way through" the film as opposed to popping up for a cameo appearance. Dominion is scheduled to open in theaters on June 10, but you might want to watch the prologue first.

Trevorrow broke down the prologue and what it means for Dominion after the five-minute scene transported viewers 65 million years in the past to see dinosaurs moving in herds, peacefully grazing, and even fighting. There was also a glimpse of a very familiar mosquito before arriving in present day where one dinosaur crashes into a drive-in movie theater.
