The Hollywood Reporter has learned that James Cromwell has joined the cast of Universal Pictures' upcoming Jurassic World sequel - a move that will reunite him with his former on-screen daughter Bryce Dallas Howard, who played the Gwen Stacy to his Captain Stacy in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. Details about his Jurassic role and/or about the film's plot weren't provided.

Cromwell is now the latest actor to join this ever-growing cast, following Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger), Rafe Spall (Life of Pi), Justice Smith (The Get Down), Daniella Pineda (The Originals), and Ted Levine (Monk). They'll all join returning stars Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2), Bryce Dallas Howard (Black Mirror), and B.D. Wong (Gotham) for the next adventure in the land of the prehistoric.

J.A. Bayona is helming (A Monster Calls, The Impossible) the highly anticipated project with a script from original Jurassic World scribes, Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly.

Production is expected to begin this Spring in England, which should give it ample time to be ready for its June 22, 2018 release date.

Cromwell's illustrious career spans over fifty years. His more notable credits include Babe (for which he earned an Academy Award nomination), Eraser, L.A. Confidential, The Green Mile, The Sum of All Fears, I, Robot, The Longest Yard, Six Feet Under, Spider-Man 3, 24, American Horror Story (for which he won a Primetime Emmy), Big Hero 6. He can be seen next in HBO's The Young Pope, and the biopic Marshall.

50 years?? wow.

Danzokumori - 2/16/2017, 1:11 PM

He was also great in First Contact.

HubbleFunk - 2/16/2017, 1:24 PM

@Ghostatoma - Yeah, he played a good few roles in Star trek shows and films.

ODanil - 2/16/2017, 1:14 PM

That guy will always be the general who let his daughter get raped and then Travolta got him.

@ODanil - hahahahaha. funny stuff

A father can only hope that their daughter only has to endure marriage sex.

AvisQuinn - 2/17/2017, 10:11 AM

@McGee - Oh, my God. Really?

Batcatgasperment91 - 2/16/2017, 1:23 PM

Who the hell did he play in spider man? i usually forget that sort of thing when it comes to movies that suck

HubbleFunk - 2/16/2017, 1:24 PM

@Batcatgasperment91 - Gwen Stacey's dad wasn't he??

Batcatgasperment91 - 2/16/2017, 1:26 PM

@HubbleFunk - yes that's who it was! lol

MUTO123 - 2/16/2017, 1:27 PM

George and Gwen Stacy reunited!

NinnesMBC - 2/16/2017, 1:45 PM

@TheNewGuy123 - Bryce Dallas Howard was a good Gwen and so was Cromwell.

MUTO123 - 2/16/2017, 1:53 PM

@NinnesMBC - I agree. The acting wasn't the problem with that movie.

connorblaze - 2/16/2017, 1:31 PM

I wasn't aware this guy did movies where he isn't the founder of a robotics supercompany that then turns on his own robotic creation. Surrogates, I, Robot, Big Hero 6. All pretty much the exact same role.

DannRamm113 - 2/16/2017, 1:35 PM

Slightly off topic: did he and Qwen share any scenes in Spider-man 3, like at all?

Wasn't his only purpose to be like "oh, btw, Sandman killed Uncle Ben because Joker killed Batman's parents and we need to let this movie begin."

MUTO123 - 2/16/2017, 1:38 PM

@DannRamm113 - 2:58 to 3:00, and that's about it I think.

UltimateCarnage - 2/16/2017, 1:37 PM

So this is Chris Pratt's love rival in the film...interesting.

CurlyBill - 2/16/2017, 1:39 PM

That'll do, pig.

batz11 - 2/16/2017, 1:39 PM

I thought he was dead...surprise for me! Like him as an actor...

Invictor - 2/16/2017, 1:43 PM

Didn't even know he was still alive lol.

NinnesMBC - 2/16/2017, 1:47 PM

He gives me vibes of being the new John Hammond type of character that Richard Attenborough played, just at first glance, of course.

Nightmare - 2/16/2017, 1:48 PM

"That'll do dinosaur. That'll do."

KingEmperor - 2/17/2017, 1:55 AM

@Nightmare
You. I like you.

KWilly - 2/16/2017, 1:50 PM

I honestly forgot Spiderman 3 had Gwen Stacy in it. Let alone Captain Stacy.

kallel - 2/16/2017, 1:51 PM

he'd be a good vulture. he'd also be a good vulture villain from the spiderman comics

sKeemAn - 2/16/2017, 2:11 PM

I truly forgot he was in SM3. I remember him in better movies.

TheDayman - 2/16/2017, 2:13 PM

I'm really not excited for this. JW was one of those movies that while watching it's kind of fun, but when you think about it just gets so much worse. But the director's supposed to be good, so it could be an alright movie.

MiopTop - 2/16/2017, 2:17 PM

When the hell are they revealing the official title for this ?

BarryShitPeas - 2/16/2017, 2:24 PM

Rolo Tomassi.

SpideyPuffsMJ - 2/16/2017, 3:56 PM

What the hell is he wearing in that pic? haha CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

SpideyPuffsMJ - 2/16/2017, 3:58 PM

Any of y'all watch the Young Pope yet? He's good in it but Jude Law is like scary good.
