Jurassic World 4 is the perfect opportunity to bring back one particular Jurassic World Dominion character. Although the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise previously confirmed a 2025 Jurassic World 4 release to the public, the sequel seems to be struggling to get its act together for the looming debut date. With a director yet to be on board and no cast established, Jurassic World might benefit from capitalizing off of a great character who has already been a tried and true protagonist within the history of the franchise.
Jurassic World 4 is already smartly utilizing a franchise alum to help manufacture its story, which reports say is a reboot of earlier IP and unlikely to include former Jurassic World actors Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard or Jurassic Park/Jurassic World stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum. The sequel will involve, however, Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, who wrote the first two Jurassic Park movies and is writing the newest installment. With Koepp secured and a former character brought back, Jurassic World 4 could be a lucrative new installment yielding the magic of previous Jurassic films.
DeWanda Wise’s Kayla Was A Great New Addition To The Franchise In Jurassic World Dominion
Dominion’s Kayla Watts, played by DeWanda Wise, was a great addition to the franchise and would be the perfect heroine to recapture the magic of previous Jurassic films while bringing a fresh character perspective to the upcoming sequel. In Jurassic World Dominion, Watts demonstrated her grit as a heroine by her significant role in rescuing critical Dominion character Maisie Lockwood. When Watts witnesses Maisie being trafficked by agents of Biosyn, she harnesses her expert piloting abilities and faithful bravery to help Claire Dearing and Owen Grady recover her, becoming an instant crowd favorite and an exemplary addition to Jurassic’s crew.
Who Is Kayla Watts In The Jurassic Park Franchise? (& Where You’ve Seen The Actress)
Kayla Watts quickly became one of the most fascinating characters in the Jurassic World franchise. Why is she important, and who plays her?
Watts’ valor, reminiscent of previous leads like Owen, Ellie, and Alan, intermingled with her US Air Force training and impressive comprehension of the prehistoric predators of Dominion would make her an exciting lead for Jurassic World 4. All the more, Watt stands out from other franchise alums, making her a doubly exciting prospect to lead a new installment. Watts would be the first Black, LGBTQ+ woman to spearhead the franchise, as well as the first to have roots in the impious company Biosyn, which could open up new, exciting story and character threads that Jurassic has never done before.

How Jurassic World 4 Can Bring Back Kayla Watts
Jurassic World 4 has an ample and easy opportunity to bring Watts into its story. Her story ends in Jurassic WorldDominion with the purchase of a new cargo plane, indicating that she has more adventures ahead where she can use her piloting and survival skills to her advantage. While Jurassic World Dominion’s ending opened the door for more of her narrative, it provided closure for all of its main characters, making it all the more effortless to bring Watts back for the sequel among a new cast of characters with budding stories to develop.
The upcoming sequel also confirmed that it would be a complete reboot of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise, meaning that its story could lead anywhere. Jurassic World Dominion culminated thoroughly anyway, with the dinosaurs cohabitating peacefully with humans, so Jurassic World 4 has the great opportunity of being creative with how it jump-starts the new Jurassic era. With DeWanda Wise’s Kayla Watts at its helm, Jurassic World 4 could easily become one of the best Jurassic films, but it’s still a ways away from solidifying any details, including who the next new lead will be.
