Reports Hint at New ‘Jurassic World’ in Early Development
Universal has not confirmed the project despite speculation about a Warpath-style dinosaur-fighting premise.
Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Universal is exploring a new Jurassic World film in early development, with Gareth Edwards and Scarlett Johansson linked to talks.
- Universal has not announced the project or said it has entered active production.
- Coverage floats an arena-style direction inspired by Warpath: Jurassic Park, a 1999 PlayStation game where dinosaurs fight in enclosed stages.
- The proposed angle aligns with recent films that spotlighted dinosaur clashes, including underground matches depicted in Malta in 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion.
- Commentators also raise other speculative pivots, pointing to Rebirth’s $869.1 million box office and its return to a familiar island setup as reasons to try ideas like Ice Age megafauna or human–dinosaur hybrids.
