WARNING: Contains SPOILERS for Jurassic World: Dominion!
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has the franchise’s biggest twist which carried on to Jurassic World: Dominion: Maisie Lockwood is a clone – and it’s set up with some very carefully placed clues; here’s the Maisie Lockwood clone twist explained. When it comes to genetic meddling, the main reveal of Jurassic World 2 is a second hybrid dinosaur, the Indoraptor. An advancement on the Indominous Rex from Jurassic World, the Indoraptor is a sleek, refined, killing machine, and a combination of various dinosaur genetics. Since Jurassic Park in 1993, we’ve seen the InGen technology advance at an extraordinary rate; cloning dinosaurs and recreating an extinct species was one thing, but to produce a hybrid dinosaur as deadly and powerful as the Indoraptor is quite another. However, that isn’t InGen’s most remarkable achievement.
That is Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) and the Maisie Lockwood clone twist. A small, pleasant girl of around 10, Maisie is the granddaughter of Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), the former silent partner of Dr. John Hammond. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the biggest twist is the revelation that Maisie is not actually his granddaughter at all, but a clone of his dead daughter. The Maisie Lockwood clone twist plays a huge role in Jurassic World: Dominion, where its revealed that she isn’t a clone, but rather, an asexual reproduction of Dr. Charlotte Lockwood. But while the news might come as a shock, Jurassic World 2 is actually littered with clues that you may have missed.
The Horrifying Twist Explained: Maisie is a Clone
Let’s start by looking at how the Maisie Lockwood clone twist came to be. It’s stated in Jurassic World 2 that Lockwood’s daughter died in a car accident decades prior, so presumably, he and his team extracted her DNA at some point. Maisie is about 10, and as a fully functioning human being with no complications, it’s likely she wasn’t the first attempt. Lockwood mentions that he and John Hammond parted ways over this debate, showing how long Maisie has been worked on and raising the question of how the process links to the dinosaurs: which came first?
What’s so curious, there, is why Maisie was created. In Jurassic World 2, it seems as though she is a one-off; recreated to make an old man happy in the latter stages of his life. It’s strange, though, that if InGen had the technology capable of cloning a human, they didn’t use it on a wider basis. Unlike Jurassic World’s genetically modified dinosaurs, this could have a major impact on science, medicine, and the world at large. Jurassic World 3 only piggybacked off the Maisie Lockwood clone twist by making it even more complicated.
