Steven Spielberg has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Colin Trevorrow, who directed 2015’s smash hit Jurassic World, will return to helm Jurassic World 3 for Universal Pictures. J.A. Bayona directed the second installment, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which will open on June 22, 2018.
Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed, The Book of Henry) was previously scheduled to direct Star Wars: Episode IX, but was reportedly let go from the project last year and eventually replaced by J.J. Abrams.
“Colin Trevorrow is going write and direct the third ‘Jurassic World’ story,”
said Spielberg, who will also executive produce the sixth overall installment in the Jurassic Park franchise.
Jurassic World 3 (as it is being called for now) will open in theaters nationwide on Friday, June 11, 2021.
