"Always keep a roasted chicken in your pocket. So, that way if a dinosaur attacks you, you can entice it with the delicious roasted chicken. As it turns its head, run in the opposite direction," Pratt says, jokingly.

Echoing his words, Howard gives several more detailed suggestions, ranging from carrying chili pepper to get rid of a Pteranodon to avoiding wearing uncomfortable shoes, with the latter seemingly in response to her character's controversial escape in high heels in the first movie.

The last Jurassic World movie, released in 2018, depicts two twists that arouse thoughts, with one being if humans should let dinosaurs be "extinguished" in a massive volcanic eruption and the other being that a young girl is revealed to be a "clone".

Speaking about the legacy, co-created by Spielberg and American writer Michael Crichton, Pratt says that the franchise has reshaped his understanding of the human's place in the world, reminding him to show respect to animals.

"What you learn when you watch a Jurassic movie is that you'd better have respect for nature. I think that's an important reminder for us all to remember that the relationship between humans and nature and animals is a symbiotic one, which is about give and take," adds Howard.

With the new movie also uniting two generations of cast members in the old and new trilogies, the new movie reprises American actor Goldblum as Ian Malcolm, a fictional mathematician.

Goldblum reveals his obsession with dinosaurs, exemplified by reading Danny and the Dinosaur storybooks to his two children and his regular visits to see dinosaur skeletons at the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh when he was young.

"The charm of dinosaurs is mysterious.... They (the dinosaurs) were so successful as a species, and they were around much longer than we've been around," says Goldblum, adding that the gigantic creatures have made humans realize we should be humble despite now occupying the apex slot of nature's order.
