Jake Johnson’s Lowery Cruthers provided a lovable character in 2015’s Jurassic World. Could he be coming back for the third film, Jurassic World: Dominion? Remember, Lowery worked at the Jurassic World park. He was also a huge fan of Jurassic Park, which was a nod to us fans. He made it out of the place alive once it became crawling with dinosaurs. He wasn’t, however; in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
So, could he be coming back? This is tricky, as Johnson reveals that he was supposed to join Dominion…then COVID-19 hit:
“I was getting ready to go out and then this pandemic hit and so everything got pushed and the schedule got rearranged, and now we’re trying to figure it out because obviously I’m in Stumptown and we’re going into Season 2 of that. So we’re figuring out the scheduling and how and if we can make it work. But Colin Trevorrow, the director, is a good friend, we’re old friends and we’ve been talking a lot and we’re trying to figure out how to do it.”
During his interview with Collider, Johnson was asked how Lowery would react to dinosaurs being out in the world (as shown at the end of Fallen Kingdom. He stated:
“It’s funny because Colin and I had the same talk where we said everything is getting really tricky but there’s something we don’t wanna just throw away. If this is the big finale and everybody’s coming back, there would be something amiss if Lowery didn’t at least make an appearance.”
He also added, talking about what he [Johnson] envisioned Lowery would wear in Dominion:
“At one point I pitched that he has like a huge pony tail now and he’s got like an army jacket and he’s kind of going through some PTSD of what he lived through. I wanted the 70s glasses and he’s always smoking a cigarette, but luckily Colin said no so we’ll see what happens (laughs). I was like, ‘Man I think he should be tatted up from the ankles to the ears, he saw a dinosaur attack!’”
