Veteran actor James Cromwell has joined the cast for Universal’s sequel to Jurassic World. Cromwell, who made listeners of a certain age shed a sentimental tear as the sheep herder in Babe, is playing an as-yet-unannounced character. He will be joining returning cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, as well as newcomer Justice Smith. The J.A. Bayona-directed sci fi thriller is due to begin shooting later this month with a June 22, 2018 release date. All I can say is: that’ll do, Rex; that’ll do.
