How Old Are Dr Grant & Dr Sattler In Jurassic World Dominion?
The newest entry into the Jurassic Park franchise will bring back the original paleontologist and paleobotanist, but how old are Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler in Jurassic World: Dominion? Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) were introduced in the first film, but both characters sat out for The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Here's an explanation of Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler’s ages in Jurassic World: Dominion.
