The Jurassic Park franchise should turn to one of its former stars to step behind the camera. Edwards has exited the follow-up to Jurassic World Rebirth. “We had an incredible experience working with Gareth on Jurassic World Rebirth,” Universal said in a statement via The Hollywood Reporter. In 2025, Universal released Jurassic World Rebirth, a soft reboot of the Jurassic World franchise. Directed by Edward and penned by Jurassic Park scribe Steven Koepp, Jurassic World Rebirth became a hit for the studio, grossing $872 million worldwide.
