Following the success of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park and its two immediate sequels, the franchise was revived by Colin Trevorrow in 2015 with Jurassic World, which featured a whole new cast of characters. Jurassic World takes place 22 years after the events of the original movie and is about the downfall of a second dinosaur park on the same fictional island of Isla Nublar. Just like Spielberg's first installment, Trevorrow's Jurassic World is a fascinating examination of humanity’s toxic interference in the natural order, using dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures to prove that humans don’t understand the world even half as much as they think.
Jurassic World was a huge hit, grossing over $1.6 billion worldwide (via Box Office Mojo). This completely revived the Jurassic Park franchise, leading to two more sequels, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion. Although neither subsequent project captured the popularity and acclaim of Jurassic World, the trilogy became a blockbuster phenomenon that ultimately saw the return of many cast members from the 1993 original. The sequels also introduced several new characters that were brought to life by a cast of talented actors and actresses. Here's a guide to all the characters in Jurassic World, who plays them in the cast, and what else these actors are known for.
Chris Pratt As Owen Grady
Owen Grady is the protagonist of the Jurassic World trilogy. He’s a highly skilled Navy veteran and ethologist hired by the park to handle and train the Velociraptors. Owen finds himself in command when the dinosaurs begin to take over the park. He makes an effort to protect the staff and the guests while also trying to find a solution that doesn’t harm the creatures. His compassion and understanding of the dinosaurs make him a hugely compelling protagonist, and Chris Pratt, who plays Owen in the cast of Jurassic World, has a sharp sense of humor that works very well for Grady's constant funny jokes.
Chris Pratt is best known for playing intergalactic bounty hunter Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, a role which he has reprised throughout the MCU. The actor has also appeared in several blockbuster action movies, including The Tomorrow War and The Magnificent Seven, making a name for himself as one of his generation's most charismatic action stars. He's also famous for his voice work in The Super Mario Bros. Movie and The LEGO Movie.
Bryce Dallas Howard As Claire Dearing
Claire Dearing is the operations manager of the newly-revived Jurassic World. More importantly, she’s the woman responsible for the genetic manipulation of the Indominus Rex. Despite concerns from Owen that the creature isn’t safe enough to include in the park, she continues to work on the attraction that ultimately causes the downfall of the park and endangers thousands of lives. During her attempts to bring down the Indominus Rex alongside Owen, the pair develop romantic feelings for each other and eventually get together.
Before she joined the cast of Jurassic World as Claire, Bryce Dallas Howard was best known for playing Peter Parker’s brief love interest Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3. She continued to gather memorable roles in projects such as Black Mirror, Terminator Salvation, The Twilight Saga, and the critically acclaimed movie The Help. Howard is also a director who has helmed episodes of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
