Although most of the original cast members from the “Jurassic Park” series did not return to reprise their respective roles in “Jurassic World“, the film opened with a bang at the box office.
With Chris Pratt starring in the lead role, one can only hope that he will return to the big screen for his role as the charming Owen Grady. Now, it looks like Universal Pictures has heard our prayers because the movie will be getting a sequel in 2018.
That’s right. More dinosaurs awesomeness and more Chris Pratt for everyone :D
According to Variety, the sequel will see its release on 22nd June 2018, with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard returning to reprise their respective roles. Steven Spielberg will also return to executive produce it through his Amblin Entertainment banner. Frank Marshall will return to serve as a producer for the film.
The film does not have a director yet, but Colin Trevorrow, who directed “Jurassic World”, will return to pen the script. He will co-write the screenplay with Derek Connolly.
