‘Jurassic World’ Casting Rumors – “Thor The Dark World’s” Idris Elba, Josh Brolin To Play Key Roles?

More big names are being linked to the latest installment of Jurassic Park. Idris Elba, one of the most prolific actors of the year, is rumored to be in the movie.

Elba will be seen next as Heimdall in "Thor: The Dark World." He is fast rising to become an A-lister. He was also in "Pacific Rim" and at the end of the year, he could be in the running for nominations and awards for his coveted role in the biopic "Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom."

A website dedicated to the movie, Jurassicparkiv.org was the first to break the news, but no official confirmation was released from Elba's camp. Citing an unnamed source that's "fairly close to Jurassic World's development [in] terms of the casting updates," the site claims this to be a done deal.

This coincides with a detail in an independent site wherein "Acting Auditions, has posted a Jurassic World casting notice calling for extras and crew members in Hawaii and Baton Rouge (where filming on the new dino adventure is slated to take place), with Elba listed as one of the main cast members.

Other people listed by Acting Auditions as being set to appear in Jurassic World include Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help), who was confirmed to have entered talks for the movie back at the end of September (following months of rumors about her involvement). In addition, the young actors Ty Simpkins (Iron Man 3) and Nick Robinson (The Kings of Summer) are mentioned in the casting call, after they were reported last week to have secured roles." (quotes from ScreenRant)

Brolin's involvement came from separate reports, but they state that he is 'in talks.' It is not yet determined how many major roles are up for grabs in the film. The actors' camps have not yet confirmed nor denied these reports.
