Their castings were announced Tuesday night by executive producer and director Colin Trevorrow at a screening of "Jurassic World" attended by Dern. While Goldblum's Ian Malcolm appeared in 2018's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," Dern and Neill haven't been back with the dinosaurs since 2001's "Jurassic Park III."

All originated their roles in the 1993 original "Jurassic Park."

Trevorrow, who helmed 2015's "Jurassic World," will direct the next installment. It follows J.A. Bayona's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom." Those two films grossed $1.7 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.

"Jurassic World 3" starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard is to be released in June 2021.
