After the departure of John Wick director David Leitch, a new director for Jurassic World 4 is now said to be in place. He has proven his talent for the sci-fi genre more than once.
After the announcement of a new Jurassic World film, everything should happen quickly. The cinema release of the sci-fi sequel has already been set for July 2025 and now a director needs to be hired. Negotiations between the studio and John Wick director David Leitch, who was at the top of Universal’s wish list, recently broke down. Apparently a replacement has now been found
Star Wars and The Creator director Gareth Edwards is probably shooting Jurassic World 4
As the Hollywood Reporter reports, Gareth Edwards is said to be in negotiations to direct Jurassic World 4. His involvement is not yet officially confirmed. However, there is not much left for him to start filming with him in the director’s chair.
After his sci-fi debut Monsters, Edwards directed the 2014 Godzilla film, which kicked off the MonsterVerse with the later mega-duel Godzilla vs. His dark Star Wars spin-off Rogue One was released in 2016. With an average rating of 7.5 from the Moviepilot community, the sci-fi blockbuster is the best-rated Star Wars film since the original trilogy.
In 2023, Edwards released the sci-fi blockbuster The Creator, which too few people saw in theaters. If you want to catch up on the story about a terrifyingly realistic robot war, you can stream The Creator with a Disney+ subscription

When will Jurassic World 4 be released in theaters?
The release date for the next installment of the sci-fi series has been set for July 3, 2025. If Edwards is hired as director in the near future, nothing should stand in the way of the planned release.
Nothing is yet known about the story of Jurassic World 4. However, it is said to be a kind of reinvention of the series. The previous stars such as Chris Pratt are unlikely to return.
