The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Justice Smith has signed on for a role in Universal Pictures & Amblin Entertainment's upcoming sequel to their 2015 mega-blockbuster Jurassic World.

Details on his role are being kept under wraps for the time being, but he's now the third new addition for the hotly anticipated sequel, following Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Rafe Spall (Life of Pi), who both joined early last month.

The dinosaur sequel, which is due out June 2018, will once again be headlined by Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol.2) & Bryce Dallas Howard (Black Mirror) - who will reprise their roles as Owen & Claire from the original film - and they probably won't be the only familiar faces as B.D. Wong (Gotham) is also expected to return in some capacity.

Production has been slated to begin spring 2017 in England with J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) in the director's chair. Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow and his writing partner Derek Connolly are currently hard at work writing the script.

Smith is best known for his lead role as Ezekiel "Zeke" Figuero on Netflix's musical drama series The Get Down and was also seen last year in the coming-of-age tale Paper Towns.

I saw "The Get Down" and Smith and panicked for a split second. Also, FIRST!

I'm glad it isn't Jaden, because he can't act to save his life.

GhostDog - 12/1/2016, 3:50 PM

So we know he's gonna die then...

Growing up on the Bronx from 1972-1978..... we didn't act the way they act on the get down. Took me outback of the show all the flipping and shit. Some episodes were good but for the most part I was severely disappointed in that show.

F Jurassic World, I need another season of the Get Down!

NO! Karate Kid was garbage! I liked The Day The Earth Stood Still, but he played such a little sh*t!

MUTO123 - 12/1/2016, 4:47 PM

@MosquitoFarmer - Justice, not Jaden.

MosquitoFarmer - 12/1/2016, 4:48 PM

@TheNewGuy123 - I know. I'm just being an asshole.

You know he's the first to die. He's even light skinned

Its good to see him getting more work and regardless of the role, its going to be a big movie so it will be good for him.

I also agree on being happy its NOT Jaden....sheesh
