Either are equally likely for Jurassic World 2 right now given the lack of details, but since these romps often have a human causing trouble in the midst of the dinosaurs rampaging, it wouldn’t be surprising if Levine’s character proved to be a nuisance during the sequel, similar to Vincent D’Onofrio’s Vic Hoskins in Jurassic World.
That would also mean the likelihood of Levine’s character being slashed or eaten by one of those prehistoric creatures significantly goes up.
Levine is often seen playing two types of characters: villains or authority figures.
Outside of Silence of the Lambs, Ted Levine’s notable credits include playing Captain Leland Stottlemeyer on Monk, Detective Mike Bosko in Heat, Sheriff James Timberlake in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the warden in Shutter Island, Hank Wade in The Bridge and voicing Sinestro in the DC Animated Universe.
