Jeff Goldblum is going back in time - in a manner of speaking. It's just been announced that the American actor, who co-starred in the first two "Jurassic" films, Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), will also be appearing in the latest installment in the series.

The 64-year-old joins Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, who starred in Jurassic World (one of the most successful films in recent years) and Britain's Toby Jones.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Goldblum will play the part he played in the first two films, Dr Ian Malcolm, a know-it-all mathematician.

The film is set to be released next summer.
