The 48-year-old filmmaker will work with the script of David Koepp, who also wrote the screenplay for the original Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
The new installment of Jurrasic World is being executive produced by Steven Spielberg, alongside Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley.
Leitch was first hired to direct the project, however, he apparently pushed back against the lack of creative freedom on the film, which came at the cost of his exit.
According to the outlet, the producers wanted to “weild a stronger hand” after the lukewarm reception of last installment in the franchise titled, Jurassic World: Dominion.
