JurassicWorldDominion director Colin Trevorrow explains why the latest sequel didn't turn BD Wong's Dr. Henry Wu into a supervillain.
Jurassic World Dominion director Colin Trevorrow explains why the sequel trilogy never turned Dr. Henry Wu into a complete supervillain. Dr. Wu is played by BD Wong and was one of the lead scientists working for John Hammond when he was developing Jurassic Park. Wong had a significant role in the 1993 film but was absent from The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park 3.
Wong again reprised his role in Jurassic World Dominion, but this time is given a redemption arc. At the beginning of the film, Wu is under the control of Biosyn head Lewis Dodgson. Instead of creating more hybrid dinosaurs, Wu is responsible for recreating giant locusts from the prehistoric era that risk destroying the world's food supply. Wu seems much more remorseful in Jurassic World Dominion than in previous films and promises to fix his mistakes.
Honestly, I didn’t find it as interesting as a scientist who’s reaching for something. We don’t really understand what he’s reaching for, and yet he makes these choices that suggest that there is an endgame to it and that there’s something that will satisfy him. In the first two movies, we suggest that it’s just recognition and that he’s someone who feels like he invented all of this, but nobody ever talks about him or gives him any credit for it.
While there were many things to be excited for in Jurassic World Dominion, one of the film's biggest draws was the inclusion of Jurassic Park legacy cast members Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The film also brought back Lewis Dodgson, this time played by Campbell Scott, who acted as the main antagonist for the latest sequel.
In the end, Trevorrow made the right decision to not make Wu a supervillain in the Jurassic World trilogy. Wu was by no means a role model in Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but the films didn't really set him up as a supervillain. Bringing dinosaurs back from extinction in the '90s and then creating dinosaur hybrids when Jurassic World was built was no small feat, so the director's explanation certainly makes sense that Wu simply wanted credit for his work.
