The Jurassic Park films will never go extinct. After this year\u2019s reboot of the franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth<\/a>, grossed almost $900 million worldwide, a sequel seemed more likely, and now, it\u2019s apparently happening. Director Gareth Edwards is returning<\/a> to direct, and stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali are all expected to come back as well.<\/p>\n

The InSneider<\/a> was the first to break the news. io9 reached out to Universal for comment or clarification, but had not yet heard back as of publication. We\u2019ll update this story if or when we hear back.<\/p>\n

Either way, the news isn\u2019t exactly surprising, of course. As we said, Rebirth was a massive hit, one of the biggest of the year, and while it didn\u2019t quite make as much as the previous installment, Jurassic World Dominion (which crossed a billion), the film\u2019s success both domestically and internationally proved that the franchise still has legs. Plus, Edwards was able to jump on board a project<\/a> pretty far along and do something solid with it. He at least deserved to develop his own sequel from the very beginning.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word on who will be writing the film or when we might see it in theaters, but the last film clearly left the story wide open. The team had retrieved the necessary materials to create a radical breakthrough medicine and unleashed it on the whole world. Clearly, the company they were working for wasn\u2019t pleased, but they are probably heroes to most everyone else. Why they\u2019d have to go anywhere to tangle with dinosaurs again, we don\u2019t know, but that\u2019s Hollywood\u2019s job to figure out. Also, Ali\u2019s character was originally supposed to die<\/a>, but the filmmakers specifically brought him back so that he could return for a sequel. The writing was on the wall.<\/p>\n

Steven Spielberg will also return as an executive producer, and it\u2019s already been a big day for the legend. Earlier today, it was confirmed he\u2019d once again return to produce a third Gremlins movie as well<\/a>. So until audiences stop going to see movies with scary creatures in them, Steven Spielberg is happy to provide.<\/p>\n

What do you think about this news? Are you excited that Edwards is returning? What would you want out of a\u00a0Rebirth sequel? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
