A variety of collaborators on the blockbuster took to social media to respond to this news, with Chris Pratt posting:
Thirty years of Jurassic legacy culminate in one epic final film. Like the fabled monsters of 65 million years ago, this film too shall RULE THE EARTH.

Fans are eager to see the current and OG Jurassic Park stars unite, as the world deals with dinosaurs on the mainland. Trevorrow posted his own message when Dominion was delayed, sharing:
For the past three months, I’ve worked with an extraordinary cast and crew on a film we can’t wait to share with the world. Even though we'll have to wait a bit longer, it will all be worth it. Let’s stay healthy and take care of each other until then.
