In a recent interview Jonathan Bailey shared exciting insights about the upcoming Jurassic World movie. He discussed the return to the franchise’s roots and hinted at a similar atmosphere to the original Jurassic Park. Bailey expressed his enthusiasm for the script being written by David Koepp, the writer of the original Jurassic Park. He conveyed his belief that Koepp’s involvement signifies a return to the essence of what made the original film so iconic.
Bailey also reflected on his connection to the Jurassic Park franchise, recounting how the original film had a profound impact on him as the first movie he saw with his entire family. He likened his involvement in the upcoming Jurassic World film to his experience with the musical Wicked, drawing parallels to cherished memories from his past.
The return of David Koepp to pen the script has generated widespread excitement among fans who felt that the franchise had lost some of its essence, particularly after Jurassic World Dominion. Despite varying critical reception, the Jurassic World movies have consistently soared at the box office, collectively grossing more than $6 billion worldwide. With such staggering financial success, it’s clear that Universal Pictures views the franchise as a valuable and enduring asset.
The upcoming film in the Jurassic franchise, Jurassic World 4, has attracted a star-studded cast due to the immense box office success of the series. Joining the cast is the talented Scarlett Johansson, a lifelong fan of the Jurassic franchise, who is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to immerse herself in the world of dinosaurs. Alongside her, Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali will also play a significant role while awaiting the development of his Blade movie in the Marvel universe. Notable stars such as Bailey, known for his work in Bridgerton, and Rupert Friend, renowned for his portrayal of Agent 47 in the Hitman movie, add further depth to the ensemble cast. Other prominent names include Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda. With such a stellar lineup, Jurassic World 4 is anticipated for release in 2025.
