Omar Sy Books a Trip to 'Jurassic World'

After winning over the hearts of millions, and earning a Cesar Award, for his performance in the French comedy The Intouchables, Omar Sy has made a smooth transition into Hollywood blockbusters. He'll appear as Bishop in X-men: Days of Future Past this summer, and now he's just booked himself a trip to Jurassic World.

Sy has joined Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jake Johnson, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Vincent D'onofrio, and the returning BD Wong in the dino sequel/reboot. Some sites are also confirming the previously-rumored Idris Elba as part of the story but there's no mention of him in THR's report. Elba has denied the rumors in the past and we'll update this post if that has changed. As for Sy, his role is unclear but he seems enthusiastic about the gig...

Fan of this saga from the beginning, I’m very proud to be part of the cast for JURASSIC WORLD #jurassicworld @UniversalPics @colintrevorrow
