Daniella Pineda Joins Universal's JURASSIC WORLD Sequel as New Female Lead

Universal's sequel to Jurassic World has just found a new female lead in actress Daniella Pineda, best known for her work on TV shows like The Originals, American Odyssey, and The Detour. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are returning for the new movie, which is being written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly and directed by J.A. Bayona.

Variety has the news, and though they don't have specific information about her character (official info on the project is still very scarce), they say she'll be a new female lead. This will mark her first role in a major blockbuster production, and she'll be joining Pratt, Howard, and new additions Rafe Spall, Toby Jones, and The Get Down star Justice Smith in the movie, which is set to open on June 22, 2018. I'm not familiar with Pineda because I haven't seen any of the TV shows she's been in, but maybe some of you have. What do you think about her joining Jurassic World 2 in a key role?
