TheJurassic Parkfranchise has endured for nearly three decades and we have at least one more installment in the dino-centric franchise coming our way.Jurassic World: Dominionis currently in the works and will round out the trilogy that kicked off with 2015’sJurassic World. While much remains mysterious about the movie, we’re going to break down everything we know about the sequel.
This will be picking up in the aftermath of 2018’sJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. While the movie was a monster hit at the box office, it didn’t hit the mark for many critics and fans. Will the third entry in this new trilogy be able to bounce back? Will this be the end of the franchise as we know it? There are a lot of questions fans might have right now, and we have at least some answers. Here is everything we know aboutJurassic World 3.
24When does Jurassic World 3 Come Out?
The situation, at present, is very fluid as production is on hold for an indefinite period of time, as of this writing. Currently,Jurassic World: Dominionis set to arrive in theaters onJune 11, 2021, from Universal Pictures. That could change but, for now at least, that’s when we can expect to see this movie for ourselves.
23When Does Jurassic World 3 Begin Filming?
Jurassic World 3initially kicked off filming in February, with director Colin Trevorrow sharing an initial set photo, which also confirmed the movie’s title. Filming commenced for several weeks. However, in the interest of public health and for the safety of the cast and crew, production was forced to shut down in mid-March. Universal and Trevorrow will pick up filming once it is safe to do so. Though, as of this writing, it hasn’t been revealed when that will be. But considering the scope of a movie like this, they will likely need at least a couple of months worth of filming to get this thing in the can and into post-production.
22Who Is Directing Jurassic World 3?
Jurassic Worldended up earning a staggering $1.6 billion worldwide, making it one of the biggest movies of all time. Colin Trevorrow directed the blockbuster, but he decided to take a step back and let J.A. Bayona take the helm for 2018’sJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. But Trevorrow is coming back to finish what he started. Trevorrow had been on deck to directStar Wars 9, long before it becameThe Rise of Skywalker. However, he departed the project over creative differences. That freed Trevorrow up to return for the sequel.
21Who is Writing the Jurassic World 3 Script?
Colin Trevorrow is also co-writing the script for the movie, but he is getting some help. Emily Carmichael, known best for her work onPacific Rim: Uprising, has been enlisted to bring this trilogy to a close. Derek Connolly, Trevorrow’s frequent collaborator, helped cook up the story. This will mark, not only Carmichael’s first entry in the series, but this will mark the second time that a woman has co-written aJurassic Parkmovie. Amanda Silver worked on an earlier version ofJurassic World.
20What Is the Official Title of Jurassic World 3?
As filming got underway, Universal Pictures and Colin Trevorrow revealed that the official title for the movie will beJurassic World: Dominion. As for what that means, exactly? In an Instagram post, Chris Pratt shared the title along with a caption that came with the definition, “Sovereignty or control. ‘man’s attempt to establish dominion over nature.'” As Ian Malcolm once said, “Life breaks free. Life cannot be contained.” And, indeed, the dinosaurs are no longer contained.
19Will Jurassic World 3 be the Last Movie in the Franchise?
This is a big question that, for now, doesn’t have a definitive answer. WhenJurassic Worldwas first coming out, Colin Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg had plans to make a new trilogy.Dominionwill complete that trilogy. Chris Pratt also said it “feels” like the end at one point in an interview. That said, the studio hasn’t declared this to be the final installment. And the fact of the matter is, money talks. If there is money to be made, the franchise will probably continue in some way, shape or form down the line. Case in point, Netflix has an animated series titled Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous in the works. Plus, there have been consistent rumors of a live-action TV series. So this may be the end of the current version of the franchise, but probably not the end overall.
18What is the Plot of Jurassic World 3?
Specific plot details for the movie are largely being kept under wraps for the time being. That said, in broad terms, it will be dealing with the ramifications of dinosaurs being out in the real world. The man-made prehistoric beasts that weren’t killed when Isla Nublar was wiped off the map were set free and, last we saw, are roaming around in populated areas.Battle at Big Rock, last year’s live-action short, previewed what this will look like. But beyond that, specifics haven’t been revealed at this time. However, don’t expect outright chaos, despite that post-credits scene fromFallen Kingdomthat showed us pteranodons in Las Vegas. Colin Trevorrow has already made it clear that the core plot won’t revolve around dinosaurs attacking cities.
17When Will the Jurassic World 3 Trailer Be Released?
When will fans be able to see theJurassic World 3trailer? No official release date has been set, but there are some previous examples we can use to get us in the ballpark.Jurassic Worldwas released in June 2015 and the first trailer debuted seven months prior in November 2014. The franchise had been away for nearly 14 years at that point and the studio needed a lot of time to build the hype. ForFallen Kingdom, which was released in June 2018, the trailer debuted six months earlier in December 2017. It seems likely, with that in mind, that we could see a teaser in late 2020 or early 2021, as things stand right now. But it all depends on how Universal plans to handle the marketing campaign. A lot could change between now and then.
16It Has Been Called Jurassic Park 6
Early on in the process, Colin Trevorrow referred to the sequel asJurassic Park 6, as opposed toJurassic World 3. Emily Carmichael and I call itJurassic Park VI, because it is. … The next film allows thelegacy charactersto be a part of the story in an organic way," Trevorrow explained in an interview with Empire.

To help add credibility to that, a teaser posted shared by Universal Pictures featured the classicJurassic Parklogo with the traditional red and black coloring.
15Are Dinosaurs In the Real World In Jurassic World 3?
One of the main hooks forJurassic World 3will be dinosaurs and humans having to co-exist alongside one another in the real world. While Colin Trevorrow has said the movie won’t fully revolve around dinosaurs attacking cities, the end ofFallen Kingdomsaw the remaining dinosaurs who made it off of Isla Nublar being released into the world. The movie’s post-credits scene provided a brief tease, as we saw some Pteranodons landing on the Eiffel Tower replica in Las Vegas.
