In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, who directed the 2018 film?

J. A. Bayona directed the 2018 film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Bayona followed Colin Trevorrow, who directed Jurassic World in 2015. The sequel begins with a mission to rescue surviving dinosaurs from Isla Nublar, where the island’s volcano is becoming active, and then shifts to a mansion and laboratory setting in the United States.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return as Owen Grady and Claire Dearing. The cast also includes Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, James Cromwell, and the returning Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm.

The film is sometimes mixed up with Jurassic World Dominion, which Trevorrow directed. Joe Johnston directed Jurassic Park III, while Steven Spielberg directed Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Fallen Kingdom was released in 2018 and serves as the fifth theatrical film in the franchise.
