Jurassic World 2 Gets a Director
Jurassic World 2, which should technically be called Jurassic Park 5, has found a director.
According to Variety, J.A. Bayona of The Orphanage will direct the followup to last summer’s biggest moneymaker. Producer Frank Marshall initially broke the news on Twitter, saying, “Thrilled to announce J.A. Bayona is on board to direct JW2. Welcome to the team.”

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will reprise their roles for Jurassic World 2. Colin Trevorrow will also return to write the script with Derek Connolly. Trevorrow doesn’t have time to direct this outing, though, since he’s preoccupied with Star Wars: Episode IX.
Jurassic World 2 hits theaters on June 22, 2018.
