Time will tell whether or not Universal brings more familiar faces into the franchise, but for now BD Wong will continue to serve as the connecting tissue.
Now that it is confirmed that Henry Wu will be making his third appearance in the franchise, the story for the film potentially becomes a bit more clear.
Instead, Sam Neill reasons Alan Grant won’t return because he is either retired or dead, but Jeff Goldblum is open to the idea of coming back.
Meanwhile, Wong’s appearance continues to link the new franchise back to the first film.
