The highly anticipated Jurassic World 4 has secured its director, with Gareth Edwards, known for his work on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in talks to lead the upcoming installment for Universal Pictures. The fourth film in the Jurassic World franchise was announced earlier this year and has been fast-tracked for a release date of July 2, 2025.
Initially, discussions were held with David Leitch, the director of Deadpool 2, Bullet Train, and The Fall Guy, to helm Jurassic World 4. However, negotiations fell through due to concerns over the limited creative control Leitch would have in the fast-tracked project. This decision paved the way for Gareth Edwards to step in and bring his unique vision to the dinosaur-filled world.
