With Sattler, Grant, Malcolm, as well as Jurassic World characters like Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), all competing for screen time and plot relevancy, the verdict was Dominion felt oversaturated. Jurassic World: Dominion has leaned too far into its recognizable faces by many accounts, without taking the time to do anything meaningful with those faces. The first Jurassic World was praised for how gracefully it walked the tightrope between fan-service nostalgia and its own engaging plot. Not to mention that the other cast and crew probably wouldn't want their name associated with a film that includes one, nor would many be keen to work with Thor on set in light of his abusive history.

Dodgson met Nedry covertly in Costa Rica, giving him $750,000 and an embryo transfer device disguised as a Barbasol shaving cream can. He wanted the technology and research needed to clone dinosaurs, so he hired Dennis Nedry to steal dinosaur embryos from Jurassic Park's lab.
