Hold on to your butts! Not a day after Jurassic World was crowned third most successful film of all time has Universal announced plans to release the sequel, Jurassic World 2 in just under 3 years from today! Eyeing a June 22nd, 2018 release date, Jurassic World will see the return of lead actors Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. BD Wong is also likely to return, though his return has yet to be confirmed.
Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow and co-writer Derek Connolly will once again team up to pen the screenplay for Jurassic World 2, which Steven Spielberg will once again executive produce.
What makes this release date so interesting is it means Jurassic World 2 (a Legendary / Universal Pictures production) will directly compete with Legendary and Warner Brothers' own Godzilla 2, which is currently slated for a June 8th, 2018 release date. Whether or not Godzilla 2's release date will be pushed or accelerated has yet to be determined, but as it stands, both films will compete for top place at the box office throughout the month of June in 2018.
Which film do you think will take home the biggest box office earnings? Which sequel are you most excited to see? What are your hopes for Jurassic World 2? Let us know in the comments section!
