For a while now, people have been speculating across the inter-web about the possibility of a Jurassic Park IV. During an interview for his upcoming film, The Wolfman, Director Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III) not only confirmed plans for a number four, but lent hope to the notion of an entire second trilogy.

“If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy.” Johnston said at an interview with Box Office Magazine. “If they keep working—and if audiences keep going to them—there’s no reason why there wouldn’t be.”

Along with building up hype for Jurassic Park IV and Johnson’s newest film opening next month, The Wolfman, Johnson also gave an overview of his project in pre-production, The First Avenger: Captain America.

“It’s not going to be a Captain America that you expect,” said Johnston. “It’s something different. It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction. It’s the origin story of Captain America. It’s mostly period—there are modern, present-day bookends on it—but it’s basically the story of how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America.”

While some fans of Jurassic Park blame Johnson for the less-than-awesome third installment of the trilogy, I am holding off on judgment. A full decade will have passed between the third and the fourth Park and Hidalgo (2004) is the only thing the director has done in the meantime. Now that Johnston is rolling out two new movies back-to-back, we should have a good idea of what he can do when he tackles Park again. Plus, dinosaurs look awesome in 3D, so who knows!
