After taking the summer box office by storm, the Jurassic World dinosaurs will be getting a sequel slated for June 22, 2018, Comcast Corp’s Universal Pictures said Thursday.
Jurassic World, which rebooted Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park dinosaur franchise in June, has become the third highest-grossing film in history, behind only James Cameron’s Titanic and Avatar.
The sequel will see the film’s leads Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return, along with Spielberg as executive producer and Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow penning the script. An official title for the sequel and the director have yet to be announced.
Upcoming Universal movies this year include M Night Shyamalan’s horror The Visit, drama Everest, Aaron Sorkin’s Steve Jobs biopic and Guillermo Del Toro’s gothic horror Crimson Peak.
