Rumors, but mostly just online hope, regarding aJurassic World/Fast & Furiouscrossover have heated up recently. Now,Jurassic World: Dominiondirector Colin Trevorrow has weighed in on the proposed concept. At the very least, the filmmaker wants to keep the memes coming.
Recently, it was revealed that a five-minute preview ofJurassic World 3will be attached to IMAX screenings ofF9, akaFast & Furious 9, when it hits theaters later this month. During an interview in honor of the news,Colin Trevorrowwas asked about the potential crossover between the two mega franchises. At this stage, Trevorrow hasn’t heard anything but he loves to observe the internet taking the ball and running with it. Here’s what he had to say about it.
“I don’t want to say anything because then the memes will stop. Reality is just not as much fun. I mean, have I ever heard anything about a franchise crossover? Of course not. But do I enjoy seeing people take it really seriously on Twitter? I do. So, let’s just keep having fun with the what-ifs.”
In reality, this crossover makes far more sense for one franchise compared to the other. Yes, theJurassicfranchise is preposterous at times but dating back to the originalJurassic Parkin 1993, they have tried to keep it grounded, at least somewhat, in science and a world that feels real. WhileFast & Furiousstarted as a street racing crime flick, it has ascended to become a globe-trotting, wild and implausible action behemoth. Case in point,Fast & Furious 9will see members of the Fast Family going to space. In a car. One is, by design, more ridiculous than the other.
Just about anything goes in Fast & Furious at this point. Dinosaurs? Sure! But that might put theJurassic Worldseries in silly territory that it can’t come back from. That having been said, it’s easy to see from the perspective of Universal Pictures why aJurassic World Meets Fast & Furious Crossovermight be worth doing. To date, theJurassicfranchise has earned more than $5 billion at the global box office.Fast & Furioussits at $6.1 billion and counting. There are huge audiences for both of these universes around the world. If a sensible (relatively speaking) story could be cooked up to, in theory, unite Vin Diesel’sDominic Torettoand Blue the velociraptor, quite a bit of money could be made.
The certainty, in both cases, is that neither franchise is getting ready to hang it up.Fast & Furious 10is already in the works and will be split into two parts, with the second chapter set to conclude the main series. But further spin-offs are in the works, such asHobbs & Shaw 2.Jurassic World: Dominion, meanwhile, will conclude this current trilogy. However, producer Frank Marshall has referred to it as the start of a “new era.” So new movies and/or TV shows will follow.F9races into theaters on June 25.Jurassic World: Dominionis set to hit theaters on June 22, 2025.
