And finally, Jurassic World: Dominion (2022). This is the big one, uniting the stars of both the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchises. Legacy characters, new dinos, the whole shebang!

More Than Just Movies
But wait, there's more! While we're focusing on the main cinematic events, the Jurassic franchise has expanded into other media. Think video games, animated series, and even theme park rides (if you're brave enough!).
