Like most people, I believe there’s only one truly great Jurassic Park movie, and that’s the original based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name. I’ve enjoyed some of the sequels, but the Jurassic World films haven’t really delivered for me. That said, I genuinely liked Jurassic World Rebirth. Fortunately, it looks like the dinosaurs aren’t going extinct anytime soon. That assertion is based on a new update regarding Universal Pictures's dino-centric franchise.
Universal is reportedly looking to reassemble the core creative team behind Rebirth for a follow-up film. According to a report from industry insider Jeff Sneider’s newsletter (via ComicBook.com), Director Gareth Edwards is said to be in “final negotiations” to return. Also, lead stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey are all expected to reprise their roles. With no official release date locked in, the project is still in early stages, but the studio’s confidence in the IP and Edwards’ vision seems clear. The financial success of Rebirth is reportedly a driving factor in bringing the team back together.
