Disclaimer: This is a Fanmade, 100% unoficial plot. DO NOT take any of this as fact or official information. Is purely an experiment made for fun and for fun only. Also, this is a work in progress that will change with more oficial information that will be released in the future and when I get more ideas to fill in the story gaps that I might leave.
So The director of the Jurassic World sequel was announced, it will be the spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, who has done movies like "The impossible", "The Orphanage" and the upcoming "A monster calls". All of these movies have been critically succesfull, including the latter, showing Bayona's skill as a director, which makes him a very good choice to direct a sequel.
Because of this, many fan have started to ask for many things to put in the movie. Some are 100% necessary in my opinion, like more practical effects, a solid script, more developement of the characters, a great musical score, and a good story. Some though, are not only unnecessary, but down right stupid and insulting, like certain rematch between 2 of the largest predators in the franchise (of course, the T. rex and the Spinosaurus).
But something that is pretty uncertain in my opinion is how the plot will play. So far, we know it will have to do with the interaction of humans and the dinosaurs. Colin Trevorrow, who was the director of the previous movie and will come back as a writter and producer of the new film, has said in an interview that it will be kinda based on a line said by Alan Grant in the first film "Dinosaurs and man 2 species separated by 65 milion years and now suddenly coexisting, how can we possibly get an idea of what to expect'". Despite the fact that scouting locations have begun on Hawaii once again, it won't be more of "dinosaurs runing around eating people", acording to Trevorrow, "that get's old pretty fast" (something I agree with entirely). There's also the fact that the other locations include Wales and possibly England (they will shoot on pinewood studios, where The Force Awakens was shot). He has also said that Claire Dearing, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, will be the main character of the film. We know that likely other companies will be able to create dinosaurs and they will be used for something other than the military.
Taking these concepts, I've made a story for fun, that makes an attempt of taking these ideas and putting them togeather in a way that sounds the least silly and reasonable, at least for the franchise's standards.

So my Idea goes like this:
After the events of JW, Wu escapes with the embryos. He sales them to different companies that specialize in genetics for different applications. He shows them how to bring back dinosaurs to life. And they are fast learners, because in a few months, dinosaurs are more of a phenomena than Gangnham style in 2012. They are everywhere, for different purposes. Some, the smaller ones, are genetically modified to be more docile and serve as cool pets, not only from different species, but different colors, shapes, sizes and even feathers (c'mon, we all knew this day would come).
Some are created for wildlife reserves people pay to go and feed, pet and interact with them in a cool way (bringing the wonderment factor to the film). But these are controlled because they have herbivores only.
Where are the predators, you may ask? Simple, they are being researched by scientists. Turns out that these dinosaurs have found the perfection in healing properties. Like crocs, they are practically immune to infections. Like birds, they heal broken bones in very short time. This serves as an advantage for the soldiers in combat. Taking the militarized dinos concept in a believable way (you know, instead of seeing Raptors with shotguns and T. rexes used as tanks, wich sounds just stupid). And the hybrids exist.... but they are mostly to study their healing properties, that's it (And with some solid creature design, we can have them so they look simmplistic and believable instead of ridiculous and over the top, like the ones from the Kenner Chaos Effect toyline).

They established that Owen
and Claire are a couple at the end of Jurassic World, right? well, months of relationship
have made their relationship stronger. They find lots of things they didn't
knew they had in common. But here's the deal. Claire, supposedly being the main
character of the film, due to her rather control-freak like personality, has
taken a job with the hireups in a really important company. But Owen isn't
really a big fan of the idea. In fact, he's not a fan of the dinosaurs being
treated as a commercial product, so he has joined a rather large group of
people that are against the idea. Like Peta, but even larger in scale (and you
can have Ian Malcom as the leader of the group if you really want fan service).
Both Claire and Owen debate whether or not the way humans treat this animals is
right or not, keeping the "Man Plays God" theme that carries the
franchise, and with some clever writing it can be like the dinner table in
Jurassic Park.
Now this is something that I have to to talk about. You may be thinking "oh, the people Owen is with are right, those scientists are so dumb", but that's the thing, in order for this concept to work, nobody can be on the right side. Otherwise, it sounds preachy, and that becomes annoying. What this should be is both sides be wrong, but have reasons to think that way, understand where they come from to have that mindset. Thus, you can have both sides go to far lengths to proove their point. Like the "PETA" type people go to exesive measures to proove they are right, and the scientists show that what they are doing could save many.
Are you able to sacrifice your morality to save millions of people? Or you are willing to, say, put these creatures in an enviorement, in a world that is no longer theirs?.
Think less Batman v Superman and more Capitain America: Civil War.
And also, another topic I need to adress is the feathered dinoaurs. This is a very divisive topic, some people are reluctant to it, some are deseperate for them, but here's the thing. Feathered dinosaurs CAN work, if certain conditions are given. For one, as I explained in another post, is a good design that doesn't look like a miserable chicken or pigeon. But there's also the story aspect. What can feathered dinosaurs bring to the story? What can they add? Do they take away from the movie? Do they have a menaing?.
Many paleofans seem to forget that all of those things are important factors that play out into a story and focus only on the accuracy because they whine a lot about Jurassic World. But that's essentially like Darth Maul's lightsaber. It would look pretty, it would look cool, but is shallow, empty and meaningless. I want to go Kylo ren's lightaber. It looks cool, it looks pretty, but it also says something about Kylo Ren as a character being unstable, conflicted, broken.
And thus, feathered dinosaurs can have a meaning. They are a simbolism of man's corruption hiding behind something that looks pretty. A seemingly harmless mask which man's worst aspect hides behind of.
But that alone is not enough, so here's my idea. At the begining of the film, Owen is called by Ingen to supervise a new breed of the classic raptor, a more accurate one, feathered, non pronated handed, etc.. They plan to get this new raptor with the classic JP raptor, but turns out the new dinosaur is too agressive, so they have to separate it from the classic raptor. Owen is with the PETA-like group, and he should leave Ingen, but he can't leave his raptor alone with the feathered "bully". He doesn't know what ingen employees can do to it. And the whole film has this subplot of Owen being torn between staying with his ideals or his raptor. And the raptors can have a bit of an arc with the JP raptor being afraid of the feathered one, as this almost kills it, and at the climax the JP raptor can get through it's fear and stand up to this raptor when is loose and is threatning Owen.
With that, let's go back to the main story.
The conflicts are rising between both sides to the point that the "protesters" go to a high security facility and let the dinosaurs loose, and THEN is when shit hits the fan. Because between these arguments and conflicts, they forgot to consider that these are still wild animals, some of them predators, and this is when stuff goes down.
Now many fans have suggested new dinosaurs to be in the movie. Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus, the return of Spinosaurus, Acrocantosaurus, Baryonix, Suchomimus, Allosaurus, Oviraptor, Utahraptor, Cryolophosaurus, even Archeopterix and Microraptor. But here's the thing...
None of those dinosaurs are unique enough to work... at all.
I'm not saying that these dinosaurs are not awesome, they are, like all dinosaurs (and animals in general really), but let's be honest here: most of these are just a slightly different versions of dinosaurs we know. Some of these are esentially T. rex, some are less impressive versions of Spinosaurus (and Spinosaurus itself, I'm sure, is not something general audiences want to see again, as it was completly wasted and awfuly used in Jurassic Park III, let alone fight a T. rex again, cause that's a horrendous idea in every sense of the word, as I explained in a previous post), some are lesser version of the Indominus Rex, some are copies of the dilophosaurus, the velociraptor and even the compys. They would add nothing that we haven't seen before, and the only way they could is giving them some unnatural hability like camuflaging, spitting something, make it bigger/smaller, etc., but this would only give even more reason for accuracy-obsessive-compulsives to trash the film. Thus, all of those dinos are useless to make an interesting creature, cause there's very little outside of asthetics that they can add to the film.
There is one, however, that has the chance to work, because of how weird and unique it is and because it is known and it is worth trying: Carnotaurus.
Why? Well, because it's bigger than a raptor but smaller than a T. rex. It is fast, but it has weakneses, like not being able to turn fast enough. It has binocular vission, it was most likely entirely scaly, with osteoderms, a cool killing method that uses an axe motion, that can be terrifying by tearing a person appart violently and savagely, and horns that can send a person several meter away.
All of that is more unique than anything proposed so far.
Therizinosaurus would be a good adition too, because it's unique. Is not a copy or less interesting version of an already existing dinosaur.
Now the story from there and the climax I still have to think about, but the point of it is to give both conflicting sides an arc. Realizing that these are creatures that do not belong to anywhere but the islands, and is the islands where they send them. In other words, man trying to clean a bit of his own mess. Setting up the next movie, which will center around whether or not they should kill them all or not.
I will fill in some gaps and change some parts as more information and more ideas of mine appear, but that's what the basic structure stands for now.
Thank you so much for reading and have a great day.
