Responding to debates among fans about whether certain characters will return for the fourth Jurassic Park film, Trevorrow said that he preferred not to bring back them back for "sentimental reasons".

Laura Dern and Sam Neill in Jurassic Park
Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern were among the 1993 film cast members that were tipped to make some kind of appearance in the new project.
Trevorrow told IGN : "I know a lot of fans want to see the original characters back. They're iconic. But I respect those actors too much to shoehorn them into this story for my own sentimental reasons.
"Jurassic Park isn't about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation. The only reason they'd go back to that island is if the screenwriters contrived a reason for them to go."
However, Trevorrow confirmed that BD Wong will be returning as Dr Henry Wu in the fourth film.

"There is a character from the first film who makes sense in our world. This hasn't been announced yet, but BD Wong will be returning as Dr Henry Wu.
"He had a much larger role in the original novel, he was the engineer of this breakthrough in de-extinction. He spent two decades living in Hammond's shadow, under-appreciated. We think there's more to his story."
Speaking about Chris Pratt's role in the new film, Trevorrow added: "He's a classic hero in a very modern context. He's the guy who will get you through the jungle alive - but like Malcolm, Grant and Sattler, he's an expert in a scientific field that's connected to our story.
"The character allows us to explore some new ideas about our relationship with these animals, without losing the humour and sense of adventure. He's a great contrast for Bryce Dallas Howard's character, who starts off very corporate, very controlled. Until the running and screaming starts. Then they need each other."
Jurassic World is slated for release in June 2015.
