Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Movie Cast & Characters:
- Chris Pratt as Owen Grady: A Navy veteran and ethologist, and former Velociraptor handler for Jurassic World.
- Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing: Jurassic World’s former operations manager, now a dinosaur-rights activist, who has founded the Dinosaur Protection Group to save Isla Nublar’s surviving dinosaurs.
- Rafe Spall as Eli Mills: Lockwood’s ambitious assistant who recruits Owen and Claire to rescue the dinosaurs. Speaking of his character’s actions throughout the film, Spall said: “Ambition is such a powerful emotion, you can get wrapped up in it and end up doing things to succeed. This character believes he is doing right. He has been entrusted with pushing Lockwood’s fortune into the future and making it survive after he dies. Mills feels he is simply doing what he was asked to do”.
- Justice Smith as Franklin Webb: A former IT technician for Jurassic World who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group’s systems analyst and hacker.
- Daniella Pineda as Zia Rodriguez: A former Marine who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group’s paleo veterinarian.
- James Cromwell as Sir Benjamin Lockwood: Dr. John Hammond’s former partner in developing the technology to clone dinosaurs.
- Toby Jones as Mr. Eversoll: An auctioneer host at Lockwood Estate who sells the Isla Nublar dinosaurs for profit. In an interview, Jones likened his character to that of “a rogue arms dealer; he sees profits in selling these creatures as weapons. He is morally neutral about whatever he is selling. He is only interested in whether or not it will make him a profit”.
- Ted Levine as Ken Wheatley: A seasoned mercenary who commands the rescue operation on Isla Nublar.
- BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu: The former head geneticist of both Jurassic World and the original Jurassic Park. Speaking of his character’s actions, Wong stated: “I do think he’s motivated by his love for science and his ego, which is well supported by his massive achievements … I think he turns a blind eye to the human suffering that comes as a result because he thinks he’s looking at some bigger picture”.
- Isabella Sermon as Maisie Lockwood: Lockwood’s young granddaughter and legal ward following her parents’ deaths.
- Geraldine Chaplin as Iris: The Lockwood Estate housekeeper, Maisie’s nanny, and protector of the Lockwood family secrets.
- Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm: An expert in chaos theory who once consulted for InGen’s Jurassic Park and was a key figure involved in the 1997 San Diego incident. In a podcast interview, Goldblum spoke of his role: “It’s small… who knows, they may cut me out entirely! But if I stay in, I’ll be a sprig of parsley or a little garnish, hopefully with some impact!”Director Bayona confirmed that Goldblum’s role is simply a cameo, as “he doesn’t have a major role in the action but it’s a very meaningful one in terms of the story”.
- Peter Jason as Senator Sherwood: An American politician who debates about saving the dinosaurs before the volcano erupts
Storyline:
Three years after the Jurassic World theme park was closed down, Owen and Claire return to Isla Nublar to save the dinosaurs when they learn that a once dormant volcano on the island is active and is threatening to extinguish all life there. Along the way, Owen sets out to find Blue, his lead raptor and discovers a conspiracy that could disrupt the natural order of the entire planet. Life has found a way, again.
