Gareth Edwards has left the island.
The director was expected to return for Universal’s follow-up to 2025’s Jurassic World Rebirth, but has now left the project over “creative differences,” sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
Rebirth grossed $869 million last year and showed there was still plenty of life left in dinosaur gene pool. Having stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey helped, of course, as did having a filmmaker who is able to weave his way around a monster movie.
Universal began moving on a sequel swiftly and has a script by returning scribe David Koepp. Johansson, Ali, and Bailey are expected to return, although schedules are still being worked out.
