Jurassic World III, also dubbed Jurassic World 3 is the title for the sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018). The sequel was first confirmed by Fallen Kingdom director, Juan Antonio Bayona in 2016.[2]
In January 2010, Joe Johnston was interviewed by the Box Office Magazine. He talked about the upcoming Jurassic Park sequel trilogy:
"Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. It breaks away from the first three - it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy."[3]
Colin Trevorrow in an interview with JurassicCast confirmed that there will be a trilogy. Over the course of the trilogy, Claire's character would evolve the most, mirroring the changing world.[4][2]
In February 2018, Universal listed Jurassic World 3 with a tentative release date of June 11, 2021.[5]
Two new characters will be in the movie, Zane Maxin and an unknown female paleo-vet.[6]
Colin announced that the sixth film won't involve dinosaurs destroying cities.[7]
