Owen Grady
Owen Grady is a fictional character in the Jurassic Park franchise. He is introduced in the fourth film Jurassic World (2015), which is also the first installment in the Jurassic World trilogy. Colin Trevorrow directed and co-wrote the film, casting Chris Pratt as Owen. He is one of the three main protagonists in the trilogy, along with his love interest Claire Dearing (portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard), and his adoptive daughter, Maisie Lockwood (portrayed by Isabella Sermon), who made her debut in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Owen is a U.S. Navy veteran and animal behavioral scientist researching Velociraptor at the dinosaur theme park Jurassic World, located on Isla Nublar. By the end of Jurassic World, he and Claire begin a relationship.
Pratt reprised the role in the film's sequels. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), he and Claire have broken off their relationship, and she is leading an effort to save the Isla Nublar dinosaurs from a volcanic eruption. Owen agrees to join her rescue mission so he can save Blue, the last survivor of his old raptor group, with whom he has a close connection. Later in the film, he and Claire reconcile and become adoptive parents to Maisie Lockwood, the biogenetic granddaughter of Benjamin Lockwood. In Jurassic World Dominion (2022), Owen and Claire remain in a relationship and are raising Maisie, who is kidnapped by Biosyn for research purposes along with Blue's asexually reproduced baby, Beta. The couple then embark on a rescue mission to retrieve them from Biosyn.
The concept of a raptor handler was conceived as early as 2004, by Jurassic World executive producer Steven Spielberg. He was disappointed with early drafts that featured the animals being trained for missions, although he believed the idea still had potential. Trevorrow was hired as the film's director and co-writer in 2013, and incorporated Spielberg's idea while scaling it back.
Owen Grady is among Pratt's most popular roles. The character has overall received a mixed to positive reception from critics. While some reviews criticized the films for not fully utilizing Pratt's skill as a comic actor and Owen's minimal characterization garnered mixed reactions, Pratt's overall performance has been well-received, and some consider Owen to be one of the best Jurassic Park characters.
In Jurassic World, Owen is a U.S. Navy veteran who works as an on-site animal behaviorist at Jurassic World, a dinosaur theme park located on the island of Isla Nublar. Owen and his friend, Barry, are studying four Velociraptors on the island, on behalf of InGen Security and its chief, Hoskins. Their research is done to test the raptors' intelligence, although they oppose Hoskins's long-term goal to use the animals as military weapons. Owen explains that his relationship with the raptors is a personal one and that they only respond to him under controlled conditions.
He was once romantically attracted to Claire Dearing, the park's operations manager, though their conflicting personalities ended a potential relationship after one date. To increase park attendance, Jurassic World has created a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus rex. Owen opposes this idea, believing that existing dinosaurs should be impressive enough. He criticizes the Indominus rex's paddock, which provides no social interaction. When the Indominus escapes, Owen unsuccessfully demands that the animal be lethally hunted. He then helps Claire find her nephews, Zach and Gray Mitchell, who are visiting the island and have become lost. During a Pterosaur breakout, Claire saves Owen from a Dimorphodon attack, and they reconnect romantically with a kiss.
When Hoskins decides to have the raptors hunt the Indominus, Owen reluctantly agrees on the condition that he commands the operation. The plan backfires when the Indominus usurps Owen as the raptor pack's alpha. The raptors turn on Hoskins' mercenary team, and one of the animals is killed in the process. Later, Owen re-establishes his bond with the surviving raptors, two of which die while attacking the Indominus. The latter is eventually killed, and the last surviving raptor, a female named Blue, is left on the island. Owen and Claire decide that they will remain together.
In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, three years have passed since the Jurassic World incident. Owen and Claire have ended their relationship, and he is building a cabin. He joins Claire on a team mission to save the Isla Nublar dinosaurs, especially Blue, from a volcanic eruption. The team realizes they have been double-crossed by Ken Wheatley and his contractor Eli Mills, the assistant of Benjamin Lockwood.
