Rogue One director Gareth Edwards is currently in discussions to helm a new installment in the Jurassic World franchise for Universal Pictures. This development comes shortly after negotiations with David Leitch fell through. The upcoming film will be overseen by executive producer Steven Spielberg under his production company, Amblin Entertainment. Producers Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley are on board, along with David Leitch and Kelly McCormick from 87North.
The script for the untitled project, set to hit theaters on July 2, 2025, will be penned by David Koepp, known for his work on Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. It remains uncertain whether previous stars such as Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, or Jeff Goldblum will make a return.
