Even though we’re still a few months away from the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Universal Pictures has already set a release date for Jurassic World 3. The film is set for a June 11, 2021 release date. So far nothing else is slated for that date, though an untitled Pixar animated film is set for a June 18, 2021 date, a week after Jurassic World 3’s release.
Furthermore, Universal has hired Emily Carmichael (Pacific Rim Uprising) to write the script with Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow. The pair will write the script based on a story by Derek Connolly and Trevorrow, who both crafted the stories for Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom.
“It’s important to this franchise that we welcome new creative voices to keep our storytelling fresh and alive,” Trevorrow said in a statement. “I’m thrilled with the tension and beauty J.A. [Bayona] has brought to Fallen Kingdom, and I know Emily will add another layer of emotion to the concluding chapter of our trilogy.”
