Jurassic Park movie, someone in the casting department at Universal Studios is a clever girl… This week, it’s been reported that out heartthrob Jonathan Bailey is being eyed for a lead role in a new chapter of the Jurassic World franchise, a “fresh take” that would apparently not feature recent series stars like Chris Pratt (yay!) or original trilogy icons like Laura Dern (boo!).Bailey, fresh off his Emmy-worthy run in gay historical drama Fellow Travelers, will soon be singing his heart out in the highly anticipated Wicked movies, and this potential Jurassic-sized role seems to herald his arrival as the gay blockbuster movie star we’ve been waiting for.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Considering all the noise he made just for showing up at CinemaCon in a sparkly blue top, it would appear Bailey’s major moment in the spotlight has already arrived.A post shared by Queerty (@queerty)But wait, there’s more!According to some widely circulating rumors, both Dev Patel and Colman Domingo are potentially up for roles, too, with the latter star reportedly being courted to play the movie’s villain (presumably a human villain, mind you, and not some genetically engineered dinosaur).Patel, of course, just showed us what a smokin’ hot ally he was with his trans/inclusive action flick Monkey Man, while Domingo continues his streak as Hollywood’s most booked and busy queer trailblazer, chasing his Rustin Oscar nomination with roles in Nat King Cole and Michael Jackson biopics, Netflix conspiracy thriller The Madness, and indie festival darling Sing Sing.

Dev Patel, the man that you are!But our point is: Bailey, Patel, and Domingo in one movie??? If this is what being queer-baited feels like, we actually want more of it, please.
