Bayona has left the project due to time constraints imposed by his movie "A Monster Calls", which would make it difficult to ensure a World War Z 2 release date of June 9 2017, Deadline reports.

Paramount, which is releasing the follow-up to the zombie apocalypse movie with Plan B, confirmed the news, saying: "Bayona is no longer able to make World War Z 2 this year, and it is our ambition to do so. He is a wonderful director and we hope to work with him soon." – AFP Relaxnews, January 12, 2016.
