The next Jurassic World movie might have found a director. Deadline reports that Universal is in “final negotiations” to hire Gareth Edwards to make the next entry in the dinosaur series.
Edwards is known for directing 2014’s Godzilla and the Star Wars movie Rogue One. His newest movie was 2023’s The Creator, which starred John David Washington. John Wick’s David Leitch was previously said to be in discussions before Edwards. According to the report, Edwards impressed producers Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall.
As previously reported, the new Jurassic movie is described as a totally new take and will not feature the stars of the Jurassic World series, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, or the main cast from the original Jurassic Park films.
