        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not so fast?</p><p>Joe Mazzello — who as a child played Tim Murphy in &#8220;Jurassic Park&#8221; — isn&#8217;t set to revisit the role, despite <strong>Chris Pratt</strong> saying in February that <strong>the original cast is slated to return</strong> for &#8220;Jurassic World 3.&#8221;</p><p>Pratt, who stars as Owen Grady in the recent &#8220;Jurassic World&#8221; series, said the upcoming installment &#8220;feels like&#8221; the end&#8221; for the franchise, telling Ellen DeGeneres: &#8220;I mean, I&#8217;m not allowed to say anything, but I&#8217;ll tell you everything. It&#8217;s got everybody &#8230; I don&#8217;t know if maybe I just blew it, but I don&#8217;t care. But I know that, like, all the cast from the original &#8216;Jurassic Park&#8217; is coming back and so it&#8217;s going to feel very much like how &#8216;Endgame&#8217; brought everything together in Marvel.&#8221;</p><p>But an insider close to Universal Studios told Page Six on Monday that the movie was in pre-production before COVID-19 struck and that Mazzello — who played the grandson of Jurassic Park founder John Hammond&nbsp; in both 1993&#8217;s &#8220;Jurassic Park&#8221; and 1997&#8217;s &#8220;Lost World&#8221; sequel — never received a call to return to set.</p><p>&#8220;I hope we get to find out someday [what happens to Tim],&#8221; Mazzello, now 36, told fans <strong>during a YouTube Q&amp;A</strong> on Thursday after watching the movie on a live-stream together.</p><figure id="attachment_5233185"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/mcdjupa_ec014.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/mcdjupa_ec014.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/mcdjupa_ec014.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Ariana Richards, Sam Neill and Joe Mazzello in &#8220;Jurassic Park&#8221;</span><span class="credit">Universal Studios</span></figcaption></figure><p>He then hinted that he wasn&#8217;t reprising his character, saying: &#8220;I do think about it all the time because there&#8217;s so much I think that you could like do with this character. Like, he was like sort of the obvious heir to, like, John Hammond&#8217;s fortune. He was the heir to Jurassic Park and, like, would this experience have turned him away from dinosaurs and make him hate dinosaurs?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I do think it would be amazing to see what happened to Tim Murphy, you know as an adult, and I don&#8217;t know &#8230; there&#8217;s so much you can do with that character and yeah, you never know, but maybe one day we&#8217;ll be able to find out,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They got to make a lot more movies, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m saying, OK? A lot more films.&#8221;</p><p>The insider added on Monday that &#8220;millions of &#8216;Jurassic Park&#8217; fans have been extremely upset&#8221; since Mazzello made the remarks, as they &#8220;lived through Tim Murphy&#8217;s character. This character is iconic and part of so many of the fans&#8217; lives. Joe&#8217;s comments alluded that there needed to be more movies in order for his character to possibly come back. It&#8217;s not up to Joe, it&#8217;s up to the studio and director if they want the entire original cast or not.&#8221;</p><p>It looks like Mazzello will have to wait a little bit longer though, as we&#8217;re told that there is &#8220;no set timetable to start production&#8221; on &#8220;Jurassic World: Dominion&#8221; again. It had been slated for a June 2021 release date.</p>]]></content:encoded>
