Jurassic World reboot lands July 2025 release date from Universal Pictures and director David Leitch… which wont feature ANY previous character
Universal Pictures is entering the next Jurassic era, with a new Jurassic World reboot on July 2, 2025.
The studio had previously staked its claim on that date for an “event film,” which will now be this project Deadline.
For the currently untitled film, no other films will be released on that date, even though it will be released nine days before Warner Bros.’ Superman: Legacy.
The new Jurassic project was first reported two weeks ago, with David Leitch (Atomic Blonde) set to direct from a script by David Koepp, the writer of Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park, released in 1993.
While no story details have been revealed, this project will focus on “a new Jurassic era” and will not feature any actors from the previous six films.

Original Jurassic Park director Steven Spielberg will serve as executive producer on the project.
Kennedy Marshall’s Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley will also produce alongside Leitch and Kelly McCormick through their company 87North.
The original Jurassic Park was adapted by Koepp from Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel of the same name and became one of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
It earned $357 million at the domestic box office and $978 million worldwide, dethroning ET as the highest-grossing film of all time.
However, that record only lasted for four years, when Titanic became the first film to gross over $1 billion worldwide, a feat that Jurassic Park almost achieved.
The huge success spawned a sequel, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which still did well but failed to recapture the success of the original.
It took $229 million domestically and $618.6 million worldwide, although the third installment, 2001’s Jurassic Park III, did not see Steven Spielberg return as director, with Joe Johnston taking over and making only $181 million domestically and $384.1 million worldwide.
The franchise lay dormant for fourteen years before director Colin Trevorrow revived it with 2015’s Jurassic World, returning the franchise to its previous box office heights.

It cost a whopping $653 million domestically and $1.67 billion worldwide, spawning a whole new trilogy.
2018’s Jurassic World stumbled a bit, but still posted huge numbers with $417 million domestically and $1.31 billion worldwide.
The final installment – 2022’s Jurassic World: Dominion – took in roughly half of Jurassic World domestically ($376 million), but still just over $1 billion worldwide.
It is currently unclear when production or casting will begin on this new Jurassic reboot project.
