According to Loaded, Goldblum appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote his upcoming film ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’. While on the show, he admitted that he will not be reprising his character in the upcoming installment in the popular ‘Jurassic World’ series.
When asked about his potential involvement, Goldblum replied, “Yes. I was available. But had a big satisfying meal with being in two of them.” He added, “If I never did any more, I’d be entirely nourished and happy and fulfilled from having done these. They’re doing spectacularly well without me.”
He revealed that he was not approached to reprise his role as Ian Malcolm, a mathematician and chaos theorist who was one of the main protagonists in the first two films ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park’ both directed by Steven Spielberg.
