“I feel like it's a new trilogy”: The science fiction and adventure saga that Steven Spielberg began 31 years ago returns with a sequel – Movie news

There are franchises that never die and the one that Steven Spielberg started 31 years ago is one of them.

Jurassic Park It debuted in theaters in 1993 and, three decades later, science fiction and adventure fans are already preparing for a seventh installment. After the original trilogy, the dinosaurs returned to the big screen with Jurassic World in 2015 and, after three installments starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, the saga premieres on July 2, 2025 Jurassic World 4.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey and Rupert Friend. The story follows Zora Bennett (Johansson), a special agent tasked with infiltrating a tropical region. Their mission is to extract the DNA of a dinosaur that lives there so that a pharmaceutical company can use it to create a new medicine that could save many lives.

At the moment, there is only one film confirmed, but the film's director believes that the story could be expanded. “I can't speak for Universal, but I feel like it's a new trilogy”has Edwards in EW. “I'm not sure what their plans are, but I feel like it's the beginning of a new chapter in the franchise.”

Neither the T-Rex nor the Mosasaurus: the most powerful dinosaur in 'Jurassic Park' actually wasn't in real life

For Edwards, Jurassic World 4 is “a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his early films.” “There are moments in this film that remind me a lot of Shark. They're like little big hits of all the aspects of his movies that I loved as a kid. It is, essentially, a small adventure odyssey through this island, a survival story”.

'Jurassic World': A successful trilogy

Will there be a new trilogy? As always, the release of the film in theaters will be the one that decides whether or not more films are given the green light. Jurassic World was a success, grossing more than $1 billion worldwide. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), with Juan Antonio Bayona behind the cameras, also surpassed the 1,000 million barrier. The closing of the story led by Pratt and Howard, Jurassic World: Dominion (2022), again, more than $1 billion globally.

With these figures, it is not surprising that Universal wanted to continue keeping the saga alive with a new installment just three years after the end. Yeah Jurassic World 4 continues to be successful, more films will most likely be made.

A mission gone wrong

Edwards has shared more details about the story of Jurassic World 4. Zora carries out the dangerous mission with some help from Duncan Kincaid (Ali), the captain of the ship who takes the team to their destination. The paleontologist completes the group Henry Loomis (Bailey) and the representative of the pharmaceutical company Martin Krebs (Friend).

Jurassic World 4 becomes a survival story when Zora receives a distress signal from a civilian ship that has capsized due to an attack. The team, then, must take care of the family Delgadoplayed by Manuel García-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono and Audrina Miranda.

“Everything goes wrong and becomes a situation that you enjoy as a fan of Jurassic“Edwards said. “Once you get into the adventure, the film doesn't let go until the end credits. The enjoyment is in the chase, the escape, the scares, the terror, the twists throughout the plot and the moments with dinosaurs.”
