Director Gareth Edwards is no longer attached to direct the sequel to Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth,” according to reports. Times of India and Variety both say Edwards steps away from the project due to unresolved creative differences. Universal is therefore searching for a new director to lead the next installment.
Both outlets agree that David Koepp is set to return as the scriptwriter. While the films’ cast details are only partially reflected in the provided extracts from Variety, the reports indicate the sequel is being developed as a continuation of the 2025 reboot. Variety also notes the original film’s global performance, citing $870 million worldwide.
Times of India adds a production timeline, stating that filming for the next chapter is projected to begin in 2027. Taken together, the coverage portrays a change in the project’s creative leadership while keeping the screenplay role in place.
