Ian Malcolm made no sense as the main character for TLW, he was used because the book had him but the movie is nothing like the book so why keep Ian? I know I wanted Grant for Jurassic Park 2 as a kid, at least we got him back for 3.
As a kid I loved JP and wanted JP2 so badly, I always expected it to be like the Series II figures of the toyline and the JP// Chaos Effect SNES game which dealt with trying to take control back of the park and recovering the embryos in the shaving cream but that never happened.
I was so mad that the viral websites for JW basically contained information that the reconstruction of the park and hints of the ACU Unit we see in JW basically doing everything I wanted for a sequel but here it was done off-screen.

Universal itself made sure to specify they were two different brands, Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. They even have two official twitter accounts depending on the brand so they seem to want to handle it this way.
Also they wanted to set up JW as the first of a new trilogy and they will all be linked somewhat and not necessarily directly related to say the original trilogy. Hell Isla Sorna is never even mentioned in JW. So yeah the JP fandom thinks the next movie will be JW:Subtitle or Jurassic _____, hence the fanon named JW Trilogy or Jurassic Trilogy.
But yeah it's indeed Jurassic Park 5 and that's awesome, they actually mentioned this movie would have more links to the first movie than JW, whatever that may mean since JW is fairly linked to JP1.

Ian Malcolm reportedly will have a big role in the movie, he's not just a quick appearance like Ellie Sattler in JP/// or Hammond and the kids in TLW.

I really hope it deals with either 2 separate parks which I think was mentioned or the mainland.

We know for a fact that at least some parts of the movie have to take place in Isla Nublar since they filmed in Hawaii and re-used some set pieces of JW. There were rumors that it would take place in London because it was going to be filmed there but it was later confirmed they were only filming there but the movie did not take place in London.
Will all the movie be in the islands? I think it's likely but if it isn't then at least a big part will. I actually think a lot of it will take place in a laboratory. They seem to be going for a scary/thriller movie with this one based on some comments like "since this movie will come out 3 years later the kids who grew up with it will be teenagers" and "It'll be scarier and more mature".
