New Jurassic World Movie Adds Béchir Sylvain to Cast

Béchir Sylvain from Detroit, Black Summer and BMF’s Diarra is in the cast of the new Jurassic World film

In January, Universal Pictures made a surprising announcement: not only did they have a new Jurassic World film in development, but the script – by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, who returns to the franchise for the first time since his death The Lost World: Jurassic Park – had already been written and the film was on its way to production. Shortly after, we heard that it was aiming for a July 2, 2025 cinema release. The film was put together in a mad chaos and is now being filmed with Godzilla director Gareth Edwards is at the helm… and Variety has revealed that Béchir Sylvain, perhaps best known for his role as Roman on the BET+ series, Diarra from Detroithis role as Braithwaite in the Netflix series Black summeror his appearances in episodes of the Starz series BMF: Black Mafia Familyis in the cast. Details about the character Sylvain plays in the Jurassic World sequel has not yet been announced.

Variety previously reported that Koepp’s script a whole new perspective, the launch of a new Jura- era, in which three adults and three teenagers get stuck on the island.

This new Jurassic World film will not feature any returning main characters from the previous Jurassic Park / Jurassic World movies. The characters played by Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern are out, as are the characters played by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The new characters are played by people like Sylvain, Mahershala Ali (Green Book), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Rupert Friend (Anatomy of a Scandal), Jonathan Bailey (Bridgeton), and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (Lincoln’s Advocate) – who were all immediately offered a role. Luna Blaise (Manifest), however, had to “beat out a bunch of actors” to get her role (according to Deadline). David Iacono of The summer I became beautiful and child actress Audrina Miranda are also in the cast… along with a bunch of hungry dinosaurs.

Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) was also offered a role, but he turned it down because he felt his presence in the film wouldn’t help it. He did say the script is great.

Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley are producing the film for Kennedy/Marshall. Steven Spielberg is executive producing through Amblin Entertainment. Universal’s executive vp of production development Sara Scott and creative executive Jacqueline Garell are overseeing the project for the studio.
