AllosaurusMember3811 XPJun-24-2015 1:48 PMWhat do you all think the Odds are of Sam Neill A.K.A Alan Grant returning in Jurassic World 2? I personally think he will be in it, he is after all pretty much the main character of the Jurassic Park franchise.
^First one to face Rexy of course.
Good grief.
Therizinosaurus Rex(aka Kaijusaurs)
CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-24-2015 2:35 PMI don't think he's going to be in it.
Therizinosaurus for JW2!
CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-24-2015 3:07 PMI'd have the concur.
We may get a Cameo, His name might be an involvement, But I doubt Sam Neil will reprise the chracter again. He's just been screwed over like, too many times in cannon. Same with Malcolm. Although he may play more of an administrative role, I doubt he'd ever go back to the island.
Now Ellie... She has reason to fear the islands, And cannon would dictate that she doesn't really have a huge reason to go. But she'd be an interesting character to send to the island.
The characters have all in a sense served their purposes of ever Returning to the islands. However, they can still play a role in future films, I just severely doubt that they'd actually do anything on the islands.
I can picture it now. A greying Doctor Malcolm turns on his heels as the Ingen copter lands, Unloading Owen, Dr.Grant, Dr. Satley, Dr. Claire, Dr.Harding... It'd make for a hell of a film, But would be EXTREMELY difficult to write...

CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-24-2015 4:04 PMI must agree with Paden. I don't see any of the first film's characters returning for any reason, except Wu. Wu is literally the only one with any reason to return to the island.
Here, have a waffle (-'.')-#
CompsognathusMember2 XPJun-24-2015 7:09 PMNo reason for him to be in it. He meant his word, "No force on earth or heaven can get me on that island." Besides the fact that be let a small-time company owner bribe him into going in JP3.

Well, i feel there was a bit more of a, He Personally wanted to go back. Like, Sure, it was hell. But these are dinosaurs we're talking about here. That's what he's studied forever. As much as he wouldn't want to go, He subconciously always wanted to return.
That kinda thing sometimes happens with Tramatic experiences.

Tyrannosaurus RexMember5639 XPJun-25-2015 12:04 AMGORILLAGODZILLA - I would absolutely love to see Sam Neil return as Dr. Grant! However, I believe that concept will, sadly, remain strictly within the dream pool. With that being said, there is always a chance, however slim, that we might see Alan Grant squaring off against dinosaurs once again! :)
CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-25-2015 7:12 AMHm...interesting, however i have to disagree. For the first part, I think the actor is tired of acting for Jurassic Park now. Sceondly, the second director proabably won't look into it all. Thirdly, I'd like some new characters now. Just me personally though, I know there are some huge fans of Dr. G.

Tyrannosaurus RexAdmin5424 XPJun-25-2015 8:01 PMA lot of these assumptions are based on the idea of Grant returning to the island. We all know he won't and getting him back would be impossible at this point.
But what if the sequel brings dinosaurs to the mainland? He has nowhere to run at that point. I think if the sequel explores the idea of dinosaurs off the island it would be a good opportunity to see Alan Grant or Ian Malcolm in a position, even if it's a cameo, that corners them with what they've faced before.
Both actors aren't doing a whole bunch lately. Sam Neill's done very little outside of television appearences and independent roles. Goldblum's career has been a little more in the spotlight, but I don't think either are too busy to come back-- Especially if it's just a cameo.
