Four months before Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom hits theatres, Universal Pictures has announced plans on Wednesday for a third instalment in the rebooted dinosaur franchise.

Universal says Jurassic World 3 will land in June 2021. The film is to be written by Emily Carmichael and Colin Trevorrow, the director of 2015’s Jurassic World. Carmichael co-wrote the upcoming sci-fi adventure Pacific Rim Uprising.

Jurassic World ranks among the biggest box-office hits. It launched with a $208.8 million (Dh766.7 million) opening weekend and finished with $1.7 billion worldwide in ticket sales.

Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg are executive producing each new Jurassic World film.

Directed by J.A. Bayona, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, opens in the US on June 22.
