Speculation on Characters

AJFU wrote:

The cast list should give an idea of each character’s importance in the film. Here is the official listing from Universal:
* Chris Pratt
* Bryce Dallas Howard
* B. D. Wong
* James Cromwell
* Ted Levine
* Justice Smith
* Geraldine Chaplin
* Daniella Pineda
* Toby Jones
* Rafe Spall
* Isabella Sermon
* Jeff Goldblum

If Levine's character is the same man who faces the jaws of the Indoraptor in the featurette, then that suggests that he is working with Lockwood, probably along with Eli Mills, who also appears at the Lockwood mansion. The absence of Toby Jones in the trailer and featurette, along with his low placement in the cast list, makes me wonder if his screen time is minimal. Maybe a lab assistant to Wu, or maybe a corrupt government official/politician who supports and helps approve the rescue mission simply to profit from the eventual auction.

So according to this, Wu is the third most important character?

Toby Jones is in the featurette. He's a guy in a suit. Probably a rich buyer.

Who is Isabella Sermon?

^^ My guess is it's she, and not Brooke Norbury, who's playing Maise. But I don't know for sure.

That would be a plot twist lol. The only reason I suggested Brooke Norbury in the first place was because she was the only one on IMDB who seemed to fit the parameters of the casting call, etc but who knows.

Yes Isabella Sermon is Maisie, not Brooke Norbury as rumored!

Daniel Stisen who plays a "Russian Bodyguard" at Lockwood's auction talks a bit about his role :

Seems like some auction guests escape out of the Manor & are then hunted down in the surrounding forests at night!

That sounds awesome. He says 'Dinosaurs', so that means there are multiple Indoraptors or all the captive Dinosaurs get released. I wonder if any big ones get released at all.

I think there may only be one Indoraptor but we also know Blue gets loose too so she could hunt down a few guests in the manor & it's surrounds as well!

Oh really? Where did we hear that about Blue? I'm almost wondering if they're gonna do something with the Indoraptor and Blue attacking each other now

Well that was all but telegraphed in the lego leak.

This sounds intense...here's hoping it's like the long grass scene x 10!

Blue and Indoraptor fighting or just Blue's involvement in the mansion scene?

That and how indoraptor gets defeated. But again they telegraphed that too in the featurette. (Hint pause at a certain scene Pratt is at with a certain other minor cast member and ask yourself why/how they get up there)

Ah, the question posed on April 1, 2003 age-old question: "Why are we here?"

Jokes aside, Blue was personally my favorite character introduced in the previous film, so if she goes, I hope she doesn't get some crappy death like Han did in "The Force Awakens". Give her a big Death-or-Glory type fight that tops the Big Damn Heroes she had in JW. I can see the Indoraptor getting a karmic death like her (likely) predecessor... killed by one or more of the animals in her genetic code.

Hmmm, I'm not sure. Depends on how high up they are haha.

I still really want a film version of the book's ending with the Indoraptor being poisoned by eggs. Would be so cool.

Just because the set has Blue and Indoraptor doesn’t mean the two of them fight. Let’s consider how repetitive that would be if we had another dino-hybrid showdown. Unless it was done drastically differently. I brought this up earlier, but regarding that shot of Owen firing the assault rifle upwards, I think he’s aiming at the Indoraptor, which is either climbing to or running on the second-floor indoor balcony of the mansion.

My hope is that this isn’t just the Indominus 2.0. Maybe that was what James Cromwell meant when he expressed disappointment with the script.

He didn't express disappointment in the script. That's just fans reading too much into it. But I agree. I really don't want Indoraptor v Blue or anything like that.

Im still wondering what Owen and Maisie were doing in the featurette hanging from the roof. Oh and the set has a skylight. Idk if that spoils anything bc the features seemed to show a 'clear' roof too.

Maybe the possible fight will be a throwback to Raptor vs Raptor fight on The Lost World? It was set on the roof for few seconds.

And when it comes to original book ending - I have a feeling we will get some form of Raptor invading bungalow scene. I am not sure if egg eating will be present here, but I remember this picture published by Colin Trevorrow:

Toby Jones' character is, I think, Wheaton. And Chaplin's character is, maybe, Eversoll.
I'm still wonder which name is correct. Zia Song or Zia Rodriguez

It's Zia Rodriguez. It was changed to fit Daniella given she is mexican-american.

Actually Ted Levine is confirmed in the recent LEGO pics as Ken Wheatley, not Wheaton as we originally thought.

Concerning Eversol - I think it's generally a last name. Then again, so's Lowery, and that was used as first name in JW, so who knows?
