There’s no telling where theFast and Furiouswill be heading next, andF9director is leaving the door open for a potentialJurassic Worldcrossover. As revealed in the new trailer forF9, the blockbuster series has finallymade its way to outer spaceafter years of jokes that heading there was a natural progression for the franchise. There’s really not much left after reaching the stars beyond outracing dinosaurs in super-fast cars.
As theFast and Furiousfranchise and theJurassic World moviesare both under the Universal umbrella, Lin was directly asked during a virtualF9press conference if the two world would ever collide, and here’s what the director had to say.
“Well, I’ve never said never to anything. And the fact that part of our philosophy is not to ever be boxed in or labeled. And that’s all I will say.”
Reading between the lines here, Lin is at least open to the concept, as aJurassic Worldcrossover certainly fits within their guidelines to not be “boxed in” as nothing more than a “racing” movie. For her part,F9star Michelle Rodriguez appears to be much more open to the idea as abig blockbuster crossoverlikeFast and FuriousmeetsJurassic Worldmakes perfect sense to her.
“Once you reach a certain pinnacle, there’s nowhere to go but to cross brand and merge, it’s what big corporations do with each other when they get too big, you know what I mean? You just have to brand and merge with each other. But the only thing standing in the way is lawyers and studios. Because, usually the brands that you’re trying to merge belong to different studios or whatever. But it’s under the same umbrella. I don’t know. I’m just saying. It works.”
There may just be two opportunities left to do theJurassic Worldcrossover movie, unless the franchise expands with another spinoff series akin toHobbs & Shaw. It has been announced that there will be only two more installments of the mainFast and Furiousseries, withF11concluding the story. No plot details have been revealed for either of these projects at this time, but there’s no indication whatsoever that Universal is seriously considering aJurassic Worldcrossover.
Meanwhile, theJurassic Worldseries will move on just fine without any planned crossovers. The next installment of that series,Jurassic World: Dominion, will be released in theaters by Universal Pictures on August 26, 2025. The new movie brings back Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard along withJurassic Parkfan favorites Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Going by the success of its predecessors, the movie is likely to make tremendous money when it is released, asF9is also expected to do.
Directed by Justin Lin and starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, John Cena, and Tyrese Gibson,F9is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 12, 2025, following years of significant delays. There won’t be any dinosaurs, but let’s just hope the wait has still been worth it. This news comes to us fromComicBook.com.
