Bryce Dallas Howard: More Determined, Focused in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom"

Coming-off a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for Netflix’s Black Mirror, Bryce Dallas Howard returns to the role of Claire Dearing in Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the sequel to the 2015 global megahit Jurassic World.

Her character, Claire, has been irrevocably changed by the disastrous events of three years ago.  “In Jurassic World, Claire goes on a very clear arc,” reflects Howard.  “You see who she is on the exterior, but you don’t know who she is on the inside.  By the end of the first film, you know what this person is really made of and can clearly see who she is.”

While Owen (Chris Pratt) retreated into a life of solitude, Claire has done the complete opposite—creating the Dinosaur Protection Group (DPG), whose mission is to save the dinosaurs remaining on Isla Nublar.  “She is still dealing with the fact she needs to take responsibility for everything that happened,” Howard continues.  “She made a mistake she can never take back because she was a part of the creation of the Indominus rex; she wrote the check for that.  Now the world is a different place because of her actions.  She opened Pandora’s Box, and she can never close it again.  All that Claire wants to do is be on the right side of history.  It’s her cause and mission.”
