Jurassic World: Dominion is yet another tent pole pushed by Universal Pictures. The studio has previously shifted the release date of No Time to Die from November 2020 to April 2, 2021. The movie is Daniel Craig’s fifth and last outing as James Bond. The company has also delayed the much-hyped film, F9: The Fast Saga. It was scheduled for April 2021, but the 25th Bond movie took its place. Fast and Furious 9 is now set to arrive in theatres on May 28, 2021.

Jurassic World: Dominion began filming in February 2020 in Canada. It moved to England in March 2020, where the production was halted due to the coronavirus outbreak. After a shutdown of around four months, filming resumed in July 2020. Universal Pictures has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of the cast and crew, along with following the necessary government protocols.
