Scarlett is also said to have agreed to star in the new movie which will be helmed by 'Rogue One' director Gareth Edwards and has a script written by David Koepp - who worked on both the 1993 original and its 1997 sequel 'The Lost World'.
'Jurassic World' castmembers Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard not expected to return, and the stars of the original - Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill - are also believed to be absent from the call sheet for the latest instalment.
Bailey will next be seen in the big screen adaptation of hist stage show 'Wicked' with the first of the two-part project set to debut in cinemas in November with part two landing in 2025.

Steven Spielberg directed the 1993 movie adaptation as well as 'The Lost World' while Joe Johnston’s 'Jurassic Park III' followed in 2001.
The franchise was rebooted with 2015's Jurassic World starring Pratt and Howard, who returned for the sequels 'Fallen Kingdom' in 2018 and 'Dominion' in 2022.
