Following reports that Universal Pictures is developing a sequel to the 2025 film “Jurassic World Rebirth,” that movie’s screenwriter David Koepp has offered an update on the film’s status.
The film, which would be the fifth in the ‘World’ series and the eighth overall in the “Jurassic” franchise, has still not been officially confirmed as yet. Producer Frank Marshall reportedly teased during ‘Rebirth’ promotional rounds that the ‘door is open’ though for more.
It’s expected the film will bring back director Gareth Edwards along with the core trio of actors – Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis and Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid.
Speaking with Screen Rant while out promoting “Disclosure Day,” Koepp says the project is still in the early stages of development as nobody has cracked the story yet:
“You can’t say trilogy. You got to make one good movie. So now what about another good movie? How would we do that? I think that the challenge of Rebirth was the franchises have become very big, very spread out. Let’s make the dinosaurs special again by restricting them. So we restricted them to this thing, and then the challenge becomes, okay, now how do we logically and in a scientifically believable way expand? That would be the question. If somebody can answer that, I think you’ll have a next movie.”
‘Rebirth’ became the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2025, grossing over $869 million worldwide against a budget of around $200 million and was nominated for a VFX Oscar.
