When Jurassic World first was announced it was hinted that Universal Studios were gearing up to revive their iconic Jurassic Park franchise with a new trilogy, rebranding the venture to Jurassic World. Initially, fans were skeptical, due to Hollywood's current obsession with trilogies and spreading films out so thin to make as much money as possible - many worried Jurassic World's success would be hindered by creating it with the intention of leading into future sequels which could or could not happen. When a film is created as a "stand-alone", the results are usually more promising, instead of leaving a number of open ends. However, throughout the production of Jurassic World, direct Colin Trevorrow assured us that Jurassic World could stand on its own regardless of the studio's intentions for sequels.
It would seem Universal are still extremely confident with Jurassic World, so much so that Colin once again mentioned the very real likelyhood that Jurassic World will spawn sequels, in a recent interview with Empire Magazine, to which he revealed:
"We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot. We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story."
