The First Footage From 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Is Actually Adorable
Hold on to your butts, 'cause this is pretty darn cute.
"Jurassic Park" fans learned early that velociraptors aren't exactly adorable in action, but if you have the right touch -- like Owen Grady -- you can have some sweet moments. The sequel to "Jurassic World," called "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," comes out in June, directed by J.A. Bayona. The director of the previous film, Colin Trevorrow, tweeted a mini teaser, just showing Chris Pratt with one of his buddies:

Awwwww. Baby raptor just wants a widdle chin rub.
Is that a look back at baby Blue? Or is it Blue Jr.? Fans are now speculating.
Back in September 2016, Trevorrow -- who co-wrote this sequel -- told Jurassic Outpost that the "Jurassic World" sequel "will be more suspenseful and scary. It's just the way it's designed; it's the way the story plays out. I knew I wanted Bayona to direct it long before anyone ever heard that was a possibility, so the whole thing was just built around his skill set."
Bayona shared the first image from the film back in March:

Trevorrow previously teased that "Jurassic World 2" was "built upon the concepts and stories that [Michael] Crichton created with the novels," including the real-world theme "a mistake made a long time ago just can't be undone. You can't put it back into the box."
"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" -- costarring Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, James Cromwell, Ted Levine, Justice Jesse Smith, Geraldine Chaplin, and Daniella Pineda -- is scheduled for release in theaters on June 22, 2018. We're on standby for the first official trailer, which is expected to be attached to "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
