It will be great news for fans and financiers of the film alike.

Chris Pratt confirmed he WILL be back for the sequel to Jurassic World, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on Saturday.

The 35-year-old actor confirmed that he will indeed be reprising his role, should the studio decide to make a sequel, which seems likely given its blockbuster opening weekend.

He joked to EW: 'They have me for I think 38 movies or something.'

The Parks and Recreation star told the publication that the best part of filming the epic dinosaur tale was hanging out with wife Anna Faris and two-year-old son Jack in his downtime.

'My favorite part of the process was being in Hawaii with my family', he told the magazine.

'Swimming, surfing and fishing, and doing runs and hikes all around there and then going to work in Hawaii. I want see if I can get a role on Hawaii 5-0 or something. If I could live there and work, I would' he jokingly added.

Chris has been charming the chat show circuit whilst promoting the film - last week he shared his three emotional faces with Conan O'Brien.

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor then pulled three very similar faces, making the host and audience roar with laughter.

Chris explained to EW that he the stare came to him easily: 'It sorta happens naturally. I didn’t practice in the mirror.

'I watched the whole franchise again. But I also watched movies like The African Queen and Romancing the Stone and Raiders and things like that because those are the movies that Colin [the director] told me to watch. Or like Temple of Doom.

'All those relationship movies where there’s a conflict between the male and female characters that reads as sexual chemistry.'

Starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard the film is set 22 years after the original Jurassic Park story, and the story returns to Isla Nublar where the dinosaurs have finally become part of a fully functioning theme park.

Unfortunately, a desire to up ticket sales led to a genetically engineered super dinosaur, Indominus Rex, bringing havoc once again to the island.

Chris plays Owen Grady, who works training velociraptors, in the Colin Trevorrow directed big-budget action adventure, which is expected to recoup its $150 million costs before the weekend is out.

The movie earned $83 million at the box office on Friday alone, putting it on track for at least $180 million this opening weekend, according to Variety, which would mean Jurassic World breaking the record for the highest-grossing June opening.

In addition to breaking the June weekend record, the movie is expected to rank third in overall opening weekends, behind only The Avengers ($207 million in 2012) and The Avengers: Age Of Ultron ($191 million in 2015).

Chris is now filming Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington, due for release in January 2017.
