We’ll follow the same general rule as all of the films in the franchise, which is the animatronic dinosaurs are best used when standing still or moving at the hips or the neck. Trevorrow told Jurassic Outpost: There will be animatronics for sure. If that bums you out, look on the bright side: Trevorrow also mentioned on the podcast that Bayona’s soft reboot sequel will do away with the overabundance of CGI that plagued World and go back to Steven Spielberg’s original’s proclivity for animatronics. So don’t expect any war scenes of army grunts duking it out with an assault rifle-carrying stegosaurus in Jurassic World 2. Thankfully, Trevorrow and screenwriter Derek Connolly recognized that insane idea for what it was and gave that characteristic to the appropriately insane bad guy instead. Apparently, the character of Owen Grady (who was eventually played by Chris Pratt in the final movie) was an ex-military dude that was all for training a platoon of raptors. On the podcast, Trevorrow referred to an early draft of what became Jurassic World that gained infamy among Jurassic fans for its depiction of fully-functioning militarized dinos. When he became raptor lunch towards the end of World, it looks like the idea of a dino-army went with him. In Jurassic World - which Trevorrow directed - actor Vincent D’Onofrio’s bad guy Vic Hoskins, who was InGen’s head security operations, was obsessed with turning the park’s prehistoric zoo attractions into battle-ready commandos. Derek and I, one of our first reactions was, ‘No if anyone’s gonna militarize raptors that’s what the bad guy does, he’s insane.’ When that idea was first presented to me as part of an earlier script it was something that the character that ended up being Owen was for, that he supported, something that he was actively doing even at the beginning. I liked it in theory as the pipe dream of a lunatic. Trevorrow was a guest on the Jurassic Outpost podcast and had this to say about raptors packing heat: I’m not that interested in militarized dinosaurs, at least not in practice.

Bayona’s Jurassic World 2, but producer Colin Trevorrow shot down that idea pretty quickly. It would have been pretty bonkers to see velociraptors wielding guns and going into battle for crazy, evil mega-corporation InGen in director J.A.
