Another Jurassic World film is on the way because people will always love dinosaurs, with the first trailer for the film dropping on Thursday night. In the trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we get a good look at Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) going back to the abandoned park to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano.
However, all of the action took a backseat to the excitement of seeing Jeff Goldblum‘s Dr. Ian Malcolm back onscreen. Sure, the dinosaurs look pretty damn great, but have you seen that silver beard? It’s safe to say that Twitter was feeling a heady mix of nostalgia and thirst.

I would pay to see this movie in IMAX on opening night even if it was just two hours of Jeff Goldblum in that court room trying to talk everyone out of going to the island. The dinosaurs are just a bonus at this point. https://t.co/caqI5E7eUG

There are plenty of questions raised by the trailer — Why would anyone build a theme park on an active volcano? Are you saying that that weird kiss didn’t lead to lasting love between Owen and Claire? — but it doesn’t really matter. If Goldblum is back as the chaos theorist who kickstarted puberty for many, people are going to be lined up around the block for this one.
But seriously, why would they build a theme park on an active volcano? At least they gave Claire some boots this time around.
