For a while now, Jurassic World producer Colin Trevorrow has been teasing that Jurassic World 2's story wouldn't necessarily be about more dinosaurs or bigger and more ferocious ones. Instead, Jurassic World 2 will be a "different kind of film" that touches on a "much larger story about our relationship with these animals," Trevorrow said. Trevorrow shed some new light on that during a speaking event at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain, saying the dinos will be a "parable" for the treatment of animals today.

"The dinosaurs will be a parable of the treatment animals receive today: the abuse, medical experimentation, pets, having wild animals in zoos like prisons, the use the military has made of them, animals as weapons," Trevorrow said, as reported by El Mundo and translated by Time.

He added that the film will be "more complex" in its subject matter.

Spanish filmmaker J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage) is directing Jurassic World 2, while Trevorrow is on-board as a producer. Trevorrow explained why Bayona is a good fit for the sequel.

"The second part will be a very different movie that will explore new paths," he said. "For that reason, it was clear that it needed to be Bayona who would direct it, in order to have it grow and evolve with his very personal vision."

Trevorrow has also described Jurassic World 2 as being "more suspenseful and scary" than the first movie. It's set to hit theaters on June 22, 2018, with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard set to return in their starring roles.

Jurassic World is the fourth biggest movie of all time, bringing in $1.6 billion at the global box office. In addition to producing Jurassic World 2, Trevorrow will direct Star Wars: Episode IX.
