Jurassic Park star BD Wong has revealed he was "very bitter" about the movie for years, before the franchise got rebooted.
Speaking to AV Club, the actor talked about how the role of Dr Henry Wu went from being a bit part to something much bigger 23 years later.
"They didn't care about [Wu], they don't even explain what happened to him at the end of the movie when everyone's evacuating the island!" Wong explained.

"Clearly, he was not a priority for anyone. And I was very bitter about that for many years. But my good friend Nathan once said to me, 'Oh, well, you don't have to worry about that, because that's going to come back to you. You'll see. They'll come back to you.'
"And I was, like, 'I don't see how that's ever going to come back to me.' I really could not see what he saw."
But Wong's pal clearly could see into the future as when the franchise was rebooted by Colin Trevorrow, Wu ended up playing a vital role.
"There were two other sequels between Jurassic Park and the Jurassic World films, and you can count them as sequels, of course, but they're not really related to the core energy of Jurassic Park," Wong said.

"And Jurassic World and the films that followed were. And in their looking for loose ends, Colin Trevorrow remembered this character who played a huge part in the book, had a huge death in the book, and allowed him to be reinvestigated.
"It was perfect, because he needed someone who hadn't died to be a touchstone to and a bridge from the original movie, someone who would really actually have been there. Not someone who would've gone away and they'd have to fly them back and make up some excuse about why they were back, but someone who was actually part of the origin story of where this all came from in the first place."
Wong added: "And so that began this journey of three movies in which I was able to explore very different aspects of this character, and this strange unprecedented instance of me playing a character that I played in one movie and then, 23 years later, I resumed the character, and the character had gone through so many different things that he became almost a different person.
"You don't get to tell people that you want to do that and have it happen. That's really lucky for me!"

Wong finished filming Jurassic World: Dominion last year and described the film as more "epic" than the previous two instalments.
"From what I gather, they let [Trevorrow] make the movie that he wanted to make, which is really chock full of good old-fashioned storytelling, amazing effects, and a resolution for all of the characters in the story," he added.
"Including the three main movie stars, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, all of whom are in it. So… that was great. Jurassic Park has been very, very good to me!"
Jurassic World 3 has a release date of June 10, 2022.
