Dimitri Vegas Joins Jurassic World: Dominion Cast
DJ and music producer Dimitri Vegas is the latest person to join Jurassic World: Dominion's sprawling cast, though his character hasn't been revealed.
DJ and music producer Dimitri Vegas has joined the cast of Jurassic World: Dominion. The third and final installment in the Jurassic World franchise already boasts quite the cast, with numerous performers returning from previous installments. In addition to leading duo Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, Dominion will feature the likes of Justice Smith, Omar Sy, Daniella Pineda, and BD Wong. Perhaps most excitingly, Dominion will also bring back the original Jurassic Park trio: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Director Colin Trevorrow has returned to the franchise after helming 2015's Jurassic World, the movie that revived the beloved dinosaur property.
Dominion was originally slated for release in June 2021, but recent delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic led to Universal bumping it a year later to June 2022. Production on the film was first halted in mid-March because of the pandemic; Dominion was later one of the very first films to resume work in July. Unfortunately, however, Dominion's set was shut down again once more just last week, with only three weeks left on the film. It's expected that it will pick back up in the coming weeks.
Vegas, who has also appeared in films such as Rambo: Last Blood and Men in Black: International, announced his Jurassic World casting on social media. "Thrilled to join the cast of @JurassicWorld: Dominion and super grateful to be a small part of the legacy that made my childhood awesome," Vegas wrote. He didn't share who he will be playing, only that this is a "Dream come true." Vegas is one half of the renowned DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.
Vegas is one of the few franchise newcomers boarding Dominion. In addition to him, the film will feature Dichen Lachmen, Mamoudou Athie, and DeWanda Wise, among others. Their characters are still being kept under wraps, like much of Dominion's plot. It's expected that this installment will pick up from where the previous one, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, left off, as dinosaurs were let loose in the world.
As any good franchise ending should, Dominion is shaping up to be a truly epic event. The concept of dinosaurs running amuck outside of the park is one that hasn't really been explored in the larger Jurassic franchise, and hopefully Dominion will truly make the most of it. The returns of the Jurassic Park stars only serve to make things more exciting, though it'll be interesting to see where all the newcomers fit in. The only sad thing about Dominion is that audiences still have to wait well over a year to see it, but at least what they're hearing now suggests it's a movie that'll be worth the wait.
