In a move that shouldn’t surprise many - especially considering that it recently overtook The Avengers to become the 3rd highest-grossing movie of all time - Jurassic World is getting a sequel.

Universal Studios announced yesterday that Jurassic World 2 or Jurassic Park 5 or whatever they decide to call it will hit theaters on June 22, 2018.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will return as leads, and the script is going to be co-written by Colin Trevorrow (who directed Jurassic World) and Derek Connolly (who wrote Jurassic World). No director is selected as of yet, and if rumor holds true, Trevorrow will be busy at this time.

In short, Universal is doing everything they can to ensure that the same team is reunited to hopefully recapture the magic of this unexpected massive success.

As much as I enjoyed Jurassic World - and I did - I can’t help but feel like this extreme level of success was lightning in a bottle. And I’m not really sure what plot threads we need to pick up from. I suppose Life, uh, will find a way…again.

At the very least - how about we just combine massive successes and give us Jurassic World 2: Fast & Furious 8?
