We know that Frontier has sadly confirmed that they'll be cutting so many species from the roster (we should have waited another year for that to never happen). However, here are the species I think will be added to the base game (if the Deluxe Edition species doesn't count).
Movie Canon Species (Website, TV Series, and JP The Game included):
New Rebirth Species (from the Rebirth Expansion, possibly a free DLC like the Fallen Kingdom DLC from JWE1):
Movie Canon Species (Website, TV Series, and JP The Game included):
- Tyrannosaurus Rex
- Tarbosaurus
- Moros Intrepidus
- Troodon
- Velociraptor
- Atrociraptor
- Pyroraptor
- Oviraptor
- Therizinosaurus
- Gallimimus
- Compsognathus
- Allosaurus
- Giganotosaurus (hopefully Frontier will keep its original Giganotosaurus design and not fully replace it with an ugly and highly inaccurate Jurassic World Dominion version of the animal, maybe still as a variant like in JWE2)
- Monolophosaurus
- Spinosaurus
- Baryonyx
- Suchomimus (hopefully Frontier does not replace its design with the Chaos Theory design, since Frontier's version is the best Suchomimus design of the entire franchise)
- Carnotaurus
- Ceratosaurus
- Dilophosaurus
- Herrerasaurus
- Brachiosaurus
- Mamenchisaurus
- Apatosaurus
- Dreadnoughtus
- Parasaurolophus
- Corythosaurus
- Edmontosaurus
- Ouranosaurus
- Iguanodon
- Triceratops
- Sinoceratops
- Nasutoceratops
- Pachyrhinosaurus
- Microceratus
- Pachycephalosaurus
- Stygimoloch
- Stegosaurus
- Kentrosaurus
- Ankylosaurus
- Pteranodon

- Dimetrodon
- Indominus Rex
- Indoraptor
- Scorpios Rex
- Spinoceratops
- Yutyrannus
- Utahraptor
- Gigantoraptor
- Deinocheirus
- Struthiomimus (if we don't get Ornithomimus, maybe this should be redesigned completely and be made paleo-accurate as well as feathered)
- Sinosauropteryx
- Camarasaurus (possibly redesigned to be more beautiful and accurate)
- Amargasaurus
- Nigersaurus
- Diplodocus
- Euoplocephalus
- Polacanthus (its color should be less bland and more vibrant in color to help it stand out from both returning ankylosaurs and new species)
- Minmi
- Geosternbergia
- Barbaridactylus (its crest should be more accurate and pleasing, while also feathered)
- Dsungaripterus
- Tapejara (either its crest is redesigned to be more based off of actual Tapejara, or it should be replaced with a new and paleo-accurate species Tupandactylus)
- Jeholopterus
- Elasmosaurus (its spikes should be removed to make it more pleasing, and it should have a proper fin on its tail)
- Plesiosaurus (its head should be redesigned to be more accurate)
- Liopleurodon or Kronosaurus (hopefully Liopleurodon gets completely redesigned to look much more accurate and Kronosaurus-like)
- Attenborosaurus
- Ichthyosaurus
- Shoniosaurus
- Megalodon
- Dunkleosteous
- Spinoraptor
- Ankylodocus
- Stegoceratops

New Rebirth Species (from the Rebirth Expansion, possibly a free DLC like the Fallen Kingdom DLC from JWE1):
- Distortus Rex
- Mutadon
- Titanosaurus
- Aquilops
- ¿Diabloceratops? (this is not confirmed, so I'm not sure if it will appear in the movie or not)
- ¿Anurognathus? (this is not confirmed, so I'm not sure if it will appear in the movie or not)
- Spinosaurus
- Quetzalcoatlus
- Mosasaurus
- ¿Tyrannosaurus? (this, I'm not sure, but maybe a unique T. rex cosmetic instead)
- ¿Velociraptor? (we could make the Rebirth raptors by breeding different colors for JP3 raptors)
- Daspletosaurus (this could work as an accurate counterpart to Tyrannosaurus and Tarbosaurus, especially if these two do not get paleo-accurate variants)
- Nanuqsaurus
- Teratophoneus
- Suskityrannus (as much as I love the Dominion Moros due to its much smaller size than the real world Moros intrepidus and being basically a pet mini-rex, I would also love its paleo-accurate counterpart added to the game)
- Sinotyrannus (a larger, more vibrantly-colored relative of our beloved Yutyrannus would be great to have)
- Dilong
- Pectinodon
- Adasaurus (if the paleo-accurate variants to Velociraptor do not get added)
- Dromaeosaurus or Saurornitholestes (if the paleo-accurate variants to Atrociraptor do not get added)
- Austroraptor
- Buitreraptor
- Halszkaraptor (this would be great for non-spinosaur semi-aquatic dinosaurs that could swim in the game)
- Microraptor
- Archaeopteryx
- Anzu or Corythoraptor (mid-sized and paleo-accurate oviraptorosaurs would be fantastic)
- Segnosaurus or Nothronychus (either one of these would definitely work, especially if Therizinosaurus does not have a paleo-accurate variant)
- ¿Ornithomimus? (if Struthiomimus doesn't get a paleo-accurate variant, assuming Struthiomimus returns through free updates, this would make a great replacement for the unpopular and highly-inaccurate Archaeornithomimus)
- Pelecanimimus
- Mononykus
- Eustreptospondylus (this would be great for non-spinosaur semi-aquatic dinosaurs that could swim in the game)
- Torvosaurus
- Oxalaia (a paleo-accurate counterpart to Spinosaurus, assuming that Spinosaurus does not get a third, paleo-accurate variant)
- Irritator
- Ichthyovenator
- ¿Rajasaurus? (only if Isisaurus is added, and I don't want the same Majungasaurus-type problem of no proper prey species for the respective predator)
- Dracovenator (a paleo-accurate counterpart to Dilophosaurus would be a really nice addition to the game, even representing a Jurassic Park novel's Dilophosaurus)
- Saltasaurus
- Isisaurus
- ¿Räpetosaurus? (I would like this so Mujangasaurus, if Mujangasaurus returns through free updates, would have its proper prey item; but I'm not sure if it is popular enough for it to be added into the game, so if it does get added, it should be vibrant and paleo-accurate to stand out among sauropods)
- Shunosaurus
- Argentinosaurus (if Titanosaurus doesn't count as its replacement)
- Mussaurus
- Plateosaurus
- Leaellynasaura (a smaller and feathered counterpart to Dryosaurus, which hopefully will return in free updates and not through paid DLCs, would be really nice; plus, another Australian dinosaur would be great)
- Camptosaurus
- Tenontosaurus
- Zalmoxes
- Tethyshadros
- Lambeosaurus
- Hadrosaurus
- Psittacosaurus
- ¿Leptoceratops? (again, like Räpetosaurus, I'm not sure if this is hugely popular, so it must have something to help it stand out among ceratopsians)
- Zuniceratops
- Einiosaurus
- Centrosaurus
- ¿Eotriceratops? (this would work as a paleo-accurate counterpart to Triceratops, especially if Triceratops does not have a paleo-accurate variant)
- Miragaia or Dacenturus
- Tuojiangosaurus (this would make a perfect replacement for the unpopular Huayangosaurus, plus I hope it would be paleo-accurate to help it stand out among stegosaurs)
- Tarchia
- Anodontosaurus
- Peloroplites
- Edmontonia (it should use the Nodosaurus's model, with the Nodosaurus, if it does return through free updates, using a new and more accurate model unlike Edmontonia)
- Antarctopelta
- Stegouros
- Spicemellus (it's an early and bizarre ankylosaur, so this would be really nice to have in the game)
- ¿Hatzegopteryx? (honestly, I'm not a big fan of this pterosaur, especially if its prey items like Magyarosaurus or Zalmoxes aren't in the game, plus we have a similar-looking Rebirth Quetzalcoatlus that may be added for JWE3, so it's a NO for me, unless it has a unique design and, most importantly, its natural prey items also get added into the game)
- Cryodrakon (unlike Hatzegopteryx, this is a big yes for more, especially if it is paleo-accurate, since it coexisted with many hadrosaurs and other herbivorous dinosaurs of North America; plus, this could represent a paleo-accurate counterpart to Quetzalcoatlus, especially if it doesn't have a paleo-accurate variant)
- Alanqa
- ¿Tupandactylus? (only if it is paleo-accurate and it replaces the inaccurate Tapejara, assuming that Tapejara does not get remodeled)
- Nyctosaurus
- Pterodactylus (the namesake of the term "pterodactyl" would be nice to have in the game, if this pterosaur has a paleo-accurate design)
- Pterodaustro
- Darwinopterus or Kunpengopterus
- Rhamphorhynchus (my favorite species of pterosaur not currently in the JWE games, it should be paleo-accurate in my opinion)
- Deinosuchus
- Simosuchus (my favorite extinct non-dinosaur reptile is a big must-have for JWE3)
- Metriorhynchus and/or Dakosaurus (both of these fully-aquatic marine crocodyliforms would be lovely)
- Dolichorhynchops
- Leptocleidus
- Cryptoclidus
- Thalassomedon
- Rhomaleosaurus
- Ophthalmosaurus
- ¿Temnodontosaurus? (this genus of ichthyosaur is not my favorite, but I can see why fans want this added to JWE3)
- Mixosaurus
- Cymbospondylus
- Kaiwhekea or Morturneria
- Prognathodon (a paleo-accurate counterpart to Mosasaurus would be nice)
- Globidens or Platecarpus (we need a small, and possibly paleo-accurate, mosasaur species)
- Leedsichthys (my favorite extinct fish would be great for the game)
- Xiphactinus
- Cretoxyrhina
- Hybodus
- Helicoprion
- Stethacanthus
- Cameroceras
- Arthropleura
- Koolasuchus
- Scutosaurus
- Postosuchus
- Edaphosaurus
- Moschops
- Estemmenosuchus
- Anteosaurus
- Inostrancevia
- Placerias and/or Lisowicia
- Megatherium
- Mammuthus
- Mammut
- Deinotherium
- Chalicotherium
- Entelodon or Daeodon
- Arctodus or Arctotherium
- Smilodon
- Gastornis
- Kelenken
