Currently, the UK has given a green light for films and television productions to resume shooting but bigger films will still be kept on hold. It is likely that Jurassic World 3 will join the list but actor Sam Neill thinks it can be as soon as July.

Producer Frank Marshall previously assured the fans that this is far from the end of the franchise. When a magazine asked if the new film would be the end of the series, Marshall denied it and added that it is the start of the new era. He said that the dinosaurs are currently on the mainland among humankind and hoped that they will stay there for quite some time. 

Jurassic World 3 was originally scheduled for a July 11, 2021 release. There might be a delay now because the makers are unable to resume production soon. Although the details of the film remain under wraps, the previous film  Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with the humankind and dinosaurs forced to live together after they were unleashed into the wild.
