The reason for him leaving the director's chair is touted to be a scheduling conflict, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"Because of pre-existing film commitments, Bayona is not able to make (the sequel) this year, and it is our ambition to do so. He is a wonderful director and we hope to work with him soon," a Paramount spokesperson said in a statement.
No one has been roped in yet to direct the film, which has Pitt, 52, returning as star and producer.
Dennis Kelly has written the most recent draft of the script.
