The British actor Rupert Friend, who starred in Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, will be in the next Universal Pictures film Jurassic World, which will also star Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson.

The creature feature, which also features Manuel Garcia-Rulfo on the call sheet, is being directed by Gareth Edwards. The narrative for the newest installment was written by Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park's original author, David Koepp. The specifics of the plot are being kept under wraps like a can of Barbasol.

In anticipation of a mid-June London production start, the project is casting ferociously. Universal has scheduled a July 2, 2025, theatrical premiere, so post-production will need to move quickly.
