Even though "Jurassic World 3" has mixed reviews and most of the negative reviews, the global box office of the movie exceeded $1 billion. Naturally, Jurassic World 4 is inevitable. A fourth sequel was confirmed to be in production, but negotiations for the film's director ultimately failed.
As reported by deadline**David Leech, the original director of "Jurassic World 4", is no longer in negotiations。The reason for his departure, like that of many directors, was the inconsistency between his creative ideas and the studio in this project. Despite this adjustment, Jurassic World 4 is still tentatively scheduled to be released in July 2025.
For a big movie like Jurassic World 4, it is natural to need an experienced director with the strength to direct blockbusters. David Leitch has directed Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train.
In both films, David Leitch's authoritative control of highly stylized action sequences has been demonstrated, a technique that would have come in handy when directing Jurassic World 4.
David Leitch's creative differences have raised concerns about the vision behind Jurassic World 4. Universal Pictures launched the poorly received "Jurassic World 3", with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 29%, and a large part of the box office came from nostalgia and the return of some of the original cast.
Because of this, Jurassic World 4 was supposed to be their hope of reviving the series, but now it seems that the director's exit partially shattered that hope.
With this change in mind, Universal Pictures also seems ambitious to stick to a 2025 release date. This window gave them more than a year to start and finish the production of Jurassic World 4. However, if they can't find a suitable director, the release date of the film will inevitably be delayed.
Either way, it's not easy to take on this massive set. Hopefully, Universal Pictures can find an equally stellar director to lead the highly anticipated Jurassic World 4.
