Edaphosaurus wrote: Having watched Jurassic world, it is clear that Wu will be back, and could become a main antagonist. As for reoccuring characters, Chris Pratt is an obvious choice. I believe Trevorrow has expressed hope for Barry to re-appear as well. As for dinosaurs, anything with feathers. Ok, you have had your nostalgia movie, now let's have a modern, up-to-date one. Of course, the current fan theory is to have Ice age animals, following rumours on the website, and Ice age animals would be a fresh change, and at least they would have correct integument! If you watch the film, Wu explains why the dinosaurs in the park don't have feathers - none of them have pure DNA. He comes right out and says it when Masrani confronts him over the creation of Indominus - "If we had pure DNA then our Dinosaurs would look very different."

The simple fact is they don't have any pure DNA and barring a miracle find they never will have pure DNA and so have to continue to add the DNA of things like monitor lizards, iguanas and tree frogs.

As for the sequel to the film, I think it could easily go the route of there are several mysterious deaths and animal sightings. Owen goes to investigate and eventually discovers one of the animals injured. He realises that it is a hybrid between the Velociraptor and the Dilophosaurus (or something along those lines). He tracks the animals to a research facility where Wu has been busy creating hybrids for war. However the military show up and a massive fight ensues. Wu is seriously injured in the chaos and reveals to Owen that he was being forced to carry out this work by the leader of the project. After Wu dies, Owen meets the brains of the operation - Lewis Dodgeson of BioSyn. Dodgeson decides to abandon the facility and retreat to another base which is already up and running. Owen is taken along as a hostage because Dodgeson decides that Owen's experiance in working with the Raptors will be useful.

Then in the third film, Claire, Lowery and Barry try to work out just where this second base is and eventually trace it to an island in the Azores, which John Hammond had earmarked as the would-be home of Jurassic Park: Europe. Simon Masrani had at one point looked into undertaking that venture with the Jurassic World franchise, but as far as Claire and Lowery are aware the project never received the green light and was ultimately abandoned. A little more research allows Lowery to confirm that Jurassic World: Europe never happened and Masrani sold off the island which Hammond and InGen had so long ago purchased for the venture. However, Lowery has bad news - the island was sold to BioSyn, the company that was suspected of sabotaging the original Jurassic Park Project.

On the island in the Azores, Owen isn't the only one being held against his will. Rexy, Blue and a good number of other dinosaurs from the Jurassic World Park have been shipped there. Dodgeson explains that while the Masrani Corporation could afford to write off the park and abandon it in order to focus on its other business interests, neither InGen nor BioSyn could afford to abandon such important assets - at the very least the animals are good for carrying out certain experiments on.

Not really sure what I expect to happen after that, but at some point Owen reconnects with Blue and she kills Dodgeson.
