When the Jurassic Park franchise returns to theaters next year with Jurassic World, there might be plenty of dino-on-dino brawls in store for audiences if a new rumor proves true.

Of course, as with any plot details for an upcoming film — whether they’re official or simply rumors — it’s worth putting a SPOILER ALERT out there ahead of anything that’s discussed, so there you go. You’ve been warned, spoiler-averse readers.

Now that we have that out of the way, JoBlo sheds some light on how the upcoming film will move from the awe and wonder of living dinosaurs in an amusement park to lots of running and screaming among its characters. The unofficial plot details the site has posted describe a scenario in which the titular theme park attempts to drum up more business by creating a new species of dinosaur. They do so by splicing together the DNA of several species — specifically, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a velociraptor, a cuttlefish, and a snake. The resulting super-dino eventually gets loose (of course), and begins terrorizing the inhabitants of the park.

But that’s not all…

The website’s anonymous source also reports that the super-dino will battle some “good” dinosaurs that were trained by Chris Pratt’s character in the film. The dinosaurs on the good-guy side of things include a T-Rex and some raptors, which will likely have a tough time with the super-dino thanks to its ability to blend in with its surroundings (via the cuttlefish DNA) and its raptor-level intelligence (among other attributes).

The source doesn’t indicate whether there will be multiple genetically enhanced dinosaurs or just the one, but even a single suped-up dino is likely to be trouble for the running-and-screaming crowd.

Naturally, all of this is unofficial and entirely unconfirmed, so it should be treated as speculation until something more official is announced. But hey, it’s fun to ponder the possibilities of tampering with a dinosaur’s genetic code, right?

Jurassic World is scheduled to hit theaters June 12, 2015.

5 great dinosaur movies like Jurassic World Dominion

A T-Rex roaring triumphantly as a banner falls in Jurassic Park.

Steven Spielberg's adaptation of author Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park left a longstanding legacy in Hollywood, with a sixth mainline entry hitting theaters this week in the form of Jurassic World Dominion. Dinosaurs have also long been one of the most popular aspects of the planet's history, inspiring plenty of imagination about what these ancient animals were like and how they perished.

And while there aren't as many dinosaur movies as one might think given their natural awe-inspiring appeal, there have been a few noteworthy ones over the last few decades. Whether it's the landmark original movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, a beloved animated family classic, or a fascinating BBC documentary, there's enough range in the subgenre for audiences to indulge their excitement for the upcoming movie.

Jurassic World Dominion review: Dinosaur doldrums

The cast of Jurassic World: Dominion tries to avoid the jaws of a dinosaur attempting to reach them.

After five films that collectively earned more than $5 billion and a trio of Academy Awards, if there's one thing the Jurassic Park franchise should be good at by now, it's giving audiences plenty of exciting dinosaur-fueled action in each installment. After all, the dinosaurs are the real stars of the films, aren't they? It might seem like that should go without saying, but Jurassic World Dominion appears to have missed the message.

The concluding chapter in the Jurassic World sequel trilogy might be full of fun reunions for the franchise's characters, but in pushing dinosaurs to the background in favor of a more conventional, action-adventure ensemble feature, Jurassic World Dominion abandons too much of what made the franchise so reliably entertaining.

Beyond Marvel and Jurassic World: Chris Pratt’s 5 best roles

Chris Pratt has had a very interesting career. His first major role came way back in 2002 when he co-starred in the short-lived WB series Everwood. Pratt played supporting roles in multiple films throughout the early 2000s, including Jennifer's Body, Take Me Home Tonight, The Five-Year Engagement, and What's Your Number. However, his breakthrough came with the critically-acclaimed NBC hit Parks and Recreation, playing the dim-witted but lovable Andy Dwyer, a role that earned him a Critics Choice Award nomination in 2013.

Major critical and commercial acclaim came thanks to his starring role in James Gunn's 2014 space adventure Guardians of the Galaxy. The film turned Pratt into a bonafide star and the action man of tomorrow, setting the stage for his future roles in major blockbusters. Pratt remains an A-lister, even if his reputation and box office receipts have suffered in recent years. And while the roles he plays are often similar, he manages to imbue each with enough charm and charisma, delivering several memorable characters that cement his reputation as a quality leading man.
