Jurassic World (Jurassic Park 4) has added three females to the cast and filming has started for the highly anticipated movie.

Jurassic World is set to be a packed affair with Judy Greer, Katie McGrath, and Lauren Lapkus joining an already strong cast headed by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins, Jake Johnson, Irrfan Khan, and Vincent D'Onofrio are also involved.

The first two will be playing the nephews of Howard’s physicist character.

Irrfan, known for his Bollywood films as well as his role in Life of Pi, will be playing the owner of the revitalized theme park on Isla Nublar.

D'Onofrio is supposed to be the main villain.

BD Wong is going to reprise his role from the original film as Dr. Henry Wu.

Greer, 38, had a recurring role in the hit series Arrested Development as Kitty Sanchez while Katie McGrath, 30, played Morgana on the BBC One series Merlin and Lauren Lapkus, 28, is probably best known for her role in NBC’s Are You There, Chelsea? and as Susan Fischer in Orange is the New Black.

Meanwhile, filming kicked off on the fourth movie in the franchise in Hawaii on Thursday at the Honolulu Zoo. Khan was spotted shooting scenes there, reported the Daily Mail.

In addition, a number of props were spotted that included a series of numbered buggies similar to the ones used to tour the park in the original film.
