At long last, Jurassic World 2 has found its director. Universal has announced that Juan Antonio Bayona will direct the Jurassic Park sequel. Bayona was rumoured earlier in January. He is previous known for directing 2011’s The Impossible where Naomi Watts earned an Oscar nomination for her performance.
Meanwhile, the plot of the movie remains a sequel. Both Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are set to reprise their roles with the film release date slated for June 22, 2018.
