The untitled film will feature a new storyline and is set to be released next year. Currently, there’s not much information about the cast members for the fresh take on the upcoming movie, and we wonder if the makers will bring a whole new team of actors or ask Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and other previous stars to return.
Apart from Edwards’ Godzilla films. he’s also known for making Rogue One and considering his experience in big studio productions, finalizing Gareth Edwards will undeniably be a blessing for the decades-spanning dinosaur series.

Gareth Edwards’ Involvement and David Koepp’s Script is a Positive Sign
The upcoming film can emerge as a massive hit project if directed by Gareth Edwards, and David Koepp who penned down films like Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man is already working. Currently, there are no comments from Universal on whether they are planning to move forward with Edwards or someone else. However, being the top choice indicates that the Falling Inn Love maker is close to the director’s chair.
Jurassic World 4 can turn out to be as successful as the original movie if it focuses on action scenes including dinosaurs and not just humans. Speilberg’s film was highly praised and is still loved by fans because it focused more on Jurassic Park and the dinosaurs rather than on action. The first film had thrilling moments, handled differently than how it has been done in the latest films.
So, to revive the franchise and bring back fans’ excitement, focusing more on the extent giants, and the theme park, rather than action scenes can do wonders for the upcoming film.
Jurassic World is available on Prime Video.
