Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and B. D. Wong will reprise their roles from the previous movie, along with newcomers Toby Jones, Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Ted Levine, Geraldine Chaplin and James Cromwell.

Jeff Goldblum will reprise his original role as Dr. Ian Malcolm from the original film.
