The Jurassic World has just gotten a little bit bigger. While the sequel has promised to do bigger and better things than its 2015 predecessor, it's certainly adding a much bigger cast.
James Cromwell, star of American Horror Story and the Babe movies, has just been announced as a part of the upcoming film.
Cromwell joins returning actors Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard in the film, as well as newcomers Daniella Pineda, Toby Jones, Justice Smith, and Rafe Spall.
While THR broke the news earlier today, there was no word in the report as to what character Cromwell will be portraying.
Jurassic World 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on June 22, 2018.

In Jurassic World, located off the coast of Costa Rica, the Jurassic World luxury resort provides a habitat for an array of genetically engineered dinosaurs, including the vicious and intelligent Indominus rex. When the massive creature escapes, it sets off a chain reaction that causes the other dinos to run amok. Now, it's up to a former military man and animal expert (Chris Pratt) to use his special skills to save two young boys and the rest of the guests from an all-out, prehistoric assault.
