Chris Pratt Likens Jurassic World 3 to Avengers: Endgame

Chris Pratt dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss his upcoming Pixar film Onward, but also dropped a few snippets about the anticipated Jurassic World 3. In fact, the actor likened the enormous project to another certain blockbuster you might have heard of — Avengers: Endgame. You can check out the interview in the player below.

“I’m not allowed to say anything… It’s got everybody,” the actor said. “It’s got pretty much everybody in it. Maybe I just blew it, but I don’t care. All the cast from the original Jurassic Park is coming back. It’s going to feel very much like how Endgame brought everything together for Marvel.”

Pratt also revealed that the production start date on the dinosaur threequel is literally right around the corner.

“I leave tomorrow and I’ll be shooting for a long time. The script is unbelievable. Colin Trevorrow, who wrote and directed Jurassic World is coming back to do this one. I can’t wait… I will shoot on and off until July. It’s a big one. It’s about close to 100 shoot days. It’s a massive movie. It’s a big movie. We’ll be all over the world. The story is really, really engaging. Really cool. It’s gonna be big.”
