We have our first look at ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’

“Jurassic World: Dominion” released its first movie poster earlier this week, as well as a first-look photo of the film ahead of its summer 2022 release.

New ‘Jurassic World’ poster and photo

The poster, which you can see below, shows a mosquito on the back of a dinosaur. The phrase “it all started here” is at the top of the poster.

• “Jurassic Park” fans will recognize the mosquito and the phrase as a reference to the mosquito that was captured in amber, which was later used to clone dinosaurs in the franchise’s original film.

“Jurassic World” also shared a first-look photo, which shows a smaller dinosaur on the back of a bigger dinosaur.

‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ special preview

The photos and posters were released as Universal announced there will be a special extended preview of “Jurassic World: Dominion” shown during all IMAX screenings of “F9,” the upcoming “Fast and the Furious” franchise movie.

• “As part of our celebration welcoming moviegoers back into theaters this summer, we couldn’t think of a more perfect way to say, ‘thank you’ to the hundreds of millions of ‘Jurassic’ and ‘Fast’ fans around the world,” Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures, said in a release sent to the Deseret News. “This first look at ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ that Colin and his team put together is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Even better, there’s simply no more perfect place to experience both the ‘Dominion’ Preview and F9 than on a massive IMAX screen. This really is the ultimate movie-fan experience.”

What will the ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ preview show?

Universal said in a statement to the Deseret News that the scene will show “what Earth looked like long before humans existed and tell the origin story of how dinosaur DNA first came to be carried by a mythic mosquito.”

• The scene will have “seven new species of dinosaurs” and “holds some real trademark ‘Jurassic’ surprises with dinosaurs later roaming an Earth that is decidedly less theirs alone.”
• “Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to see dinosaurs in their natural habitat,” director Colin Trevorrow says. “It may have taken a few decades, but with a little help ... it has finally happened. This preview is just a glimpse of the film we’ve made. It’s an epic celebration of everything Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton created, and I can’t wait to share it with the world next summer.”
