Exclusive: DeWanda Wise and Mamoudou Athie Talk ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ [Video]

It’s the end of an era.

The final installment of the current Jurassic World franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion premiered in theaters on Friday. The film, directed by Colin Trevorrow, produced by Steven Spielberg, and starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, reprising their roles as Owen Grady and Claire Dearing, follows “four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures.” This adventure also includes the original actors from the Jurassic Park franchise, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Audiences can expect to see “uncharted territory, featuring never-seen dinosaurs, breakneck action and astonishing new visual effects.”

I got a chance to speak with two stars of Jurassic World: Dominion, DeWanda Wise and Mamoudou Athie, who talked about their favorite scene in the film, how they feel about being part of the Jurassic franchise, and what they want audiences to get from the film. Watch the full interview with the stars on YouTube.
