BD Wong Will Reprise JURASSIC PARK Role in JURASSIC WORLD

In a new interview with IGN, JURASSIC WORLD director Colin Trevorrow confirmed that stage and screen vet BD Wong will return for the next installment in the franchise.

"This hasn't been announced yet, but BD Wong will be returning as Dr. Henry Wu," Trevorrow said. "He had a much larger role in the original novel, he was the engineer of this breakthrough in de-extinction. He spent two decades living in Hammond's shadow, underappreciated. We think there's more to his story."
