Summary
- Jurassic World: Dominion served as a conclusion to the sequel trilogy, Jurassic World 4 has still been confirmed.
- Jurassic World 4 will be a complete reboot of the entire Jurassic Park franchise, and none of the original actors will be involved.
- Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp has been hired to write the script, suggesting Jurassic World 4 hopes to return to the franchise's roots.
Following the misstep of Jurassic World: Dominion​​​​​​, Jurassic World 4 has officially been announced and aims to steer the franchise in the right direction. Jurassic World: Dominion very much serves as a conclusion to the sequel trilogy, bringing together arcs from across the new movies but also seeing the return of Jurassic Park's main characters. This helped give Dominion a sense of finality, but major franchises like Jurassic World can't stay away for too long.
The Jurassic Park franchise has had its ups and downs, but the tantalizing chance to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office has always enticed Hollywood to return to the well. Jurassic World: Dominion received both negative reviews and a disappointing box office, but even a colossal flop or underwhelming critical reception can make the series extinct forever. Therefore, it has officially been announced that Jurassic World 4 is on the way.

Jurassic World 4 Release Date
The New Jurassic Era Begins Sooner Than Expected
Only a few weeks after the ambitious new project was announced, Universal provided a planned release date for Jurassic World 4 that suggests the film is moving quickly. The "new Jurassic era" is slated to begin on July 2nd, 2025, just a little over a year and a half after it was revealed. There's no telling if the movie will achieve that goal, and it's likely that the July 2025 release date may be moved in the next 18 months.

Jurassic World 4: Cast
No Original Stars Are Expected
Most of the speculation surrounding Jurassic World 4 in the past was based on the assumption that it would be a continuation of the franchise. However, the latest update confirms that none of the original cast members from any era of Jurassic Park will be involved. With that in mind, the entirety of the Jurassic World 4 cast is unknown at this time, and none of the film's roles have been filled.
In March 2024, it was revealed that Scarlett Johansson was in talks to lead the new Jurassic World film, but the status of the negotiations is unknown. Not long after Johansson was first courted, Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey was also announced to be in talks to appear in Jurassic World 4. They were eventually joined by Lincoln Lawyer star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo who is tapped to play a major role. Obi-Wan Kenobi's Rupert Friend has also been cast. Mahershala Ali is in talks to appear, but no deal has been signed yet.
Several original Jurassic Park and Jurassic World stars have confirmed they will not be returning.
Jurassic World 4: Story
A Hard Reboot On The Franchise
It could go back to the first novel and more accurately adapt Michael Crichton's chilling and pessimistic story of corporate greed, or it could reboot everything from an entirely new perspective
Though Jurassic World: Dominion was somewhat conclusive, it wasn't impossible to speculate about how a fourth film could build on the threequel. However, with the revelation that Jurassic World 4 will be a complete reboot of the franchise, there is no telling what the movie will tackle. It could go back to the first novel and more accurately adapt Michael Crichton's chilling and pessimistic story of corporate greed, or it could reboot everything from an entirely new perspective. However, the involvement of screenwriter David Koepp suggests the series is aiming to return to its roots.
Jurassic World 4
