Is the Jurassic World franchise about to continue despite the lukewarm reception of Jurassic World: Renaissance? According to insider Daniel Richtman, it seems so. The next installment might feature Scarlett Johansson as part of its cast, hinting that the dinosaur saga is far from over.
New Jurassic World Film in Development?
Last July, fans of prehistoric creatures were treated to a showcase of visually stunning dinosaurs and pterosaurs in Jurassic World: Renaissance. Despite its alluring visuals, the film has struggled to attract audiences. In fact, Jurassic World: Renaissance marked the lowest box office opening in the Jurassic World series, receiving poor reviews with a score of 3.2/5 from critics and 2.6/5 from audiences on AlloCiné, and only 50% on Rotten Tomatoes.
With a box office total of $860 million, Jurassic World: Renaissance has underperformed compared to its predecessors, all of which surpassed the $1 billion mark. However, according to recent comments by insider Daniel Richtman, the Jurassic World franchise is set to continue. Richtman revealed that “a new Jurassic World film featuring Scarlett Johansson as the lead is already in development.” Additionally, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are expected to reprise their roles in this anticipated movie.
What’s Next for the Franchise?
It’s worth noting that Jonathan Bailey’s character was originally supposed to die in Jurassic World: Renaissance, but Universal Pictures intervened to ensure his survival. As for the potential return of director Gareth Edwards, there has been no information available on that front. A new film will certainly generate buzz when officially announced, and fans are left to speculate on its storyline. It remains to be seen whether audiences will be more eager to flock to theaters than they were for Jurassic World: Renaissance.
