Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom doesn’t open until June 22nd, but that hasn’t stopped Universal Pictures from making announcements about the next Jurassic Park sequel after it. So far we’ve only seen a couple of trailers — the first trailer in December and the Super Bowl trailer earlier this month — for Fallen Kingdom, but Universal seems certain about its success and is already hyping Jurassic World 3, announcing a release date of June 11th, 2021.

This is an optimistic move, but have you also considered Chris Pratt petting a baby dinosaur? Yeah, it’ll do okay.
Nonetheless, some people on Twitter weren’t sure about the announcement. Some among them were quick to decry the spoiler:
JURASSIC WORLD 3 sets its sights on June 11, 2021. Great. What a spoiler. Now we know those dinosaurs survive that volcano attack in FALLEN KINGDOM. Nice, Universal, really nice.

Great, now we know how Jurassic World 2 ends!

And one of the most common responses was to wonder if Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom had already opened and we all just missed it:
When I saw Jurassic World 3 trending for a split second I honestly thought that maybe Jurassic World 2 had come and gone without me noticing and I wasn't even that surprised at the possibility

Another common response was to make jokes about announcing a third (sixth?) movie so soon:
Jurassic World 3 was just announced before we've even seen the 2nd one. Someone has been reading The Secret.

Jurassic Park 5: Jurassic World 2 isn't even out yet and they've already announced Jurassic Park 6: Jurassic World 3.

Some people were skeptical:
Your studios were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. https://t.co/7fO70RODA1

Others made helpful suggestions about the potential plot lines:

Others showed up to volunteer as a fact checker:
Actually, not all of the creatures from Jurassic Park were from the Jurassic period. Jeff Goldblum, for example. He’s from now.

Jurassic Parks don't kill people. The dinosaurs contained WITHIN Jurassic Parks kill people.

And some just stated the obvious reason for the sequels to keep coming:
They'll never figure out how to keep dinosaurs from escaping. https://t.co/O17GWSngbH

Speaking of obvious reasons for the sequels to keep coming, a few people stumbled upon the economic reason these parks — and these movies — will just keep on getting made:
Not sure I can get down with Jurassic World 3. To suspend my disbelief that they'd build yet another dinosaur theme park, I'd have to think that embedded at the very core of capitalism resides a craven blindness to history's lessons driven by a depraved valuing of money over life
