The good news for fans is that Rexy, everyone's favourite carnivore, will be returning for Jurassic World 2 to terrify/aid the characters in equal measure.
Filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, who returns as producer (A Monster Calls' J.A. Bayona is directing) nonchalantly confirmed the news on social media.
For those who don't know, Rexy is the tyrannosaurus rex that first appeared in Steven Spielberg's seminal 1993 adventure Rexy is the tyrannosaurus rex that first appeared in Steven Spielberg's seminal 1993 adventure Jurassic Park causing headaches for Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and co before saving them from hungry velociraptors.
She returned in 2015 smash Jurassic World, this time aiding Bryce Dallas Howard's character in her efforts to escape the far more dangerous Indominus Rex.
It was unknown whether she would return for the sequel, but rest assured she'll be showing up once again.
