Who played Claire Dearing in Jurassic World?

Bryce Dallas Howard played Claire Dearing in Jurassic World.

Released in 2015, Jurassic World revived the film series with a fully operating dinosaur theme park on Isla Nublar, the same fictional island used in the original Jurassic Park. Howard’s Claire is the park’s operations manager, responsible for logistics, visitor safety, staffing and commercial performance.

Claire begins the film as a highly organized administrator who views the dinosaurs largely as attractions and business assets. Her outlook changes after the genetically engineered Indominus rex escapes and threatens the park. She ultimately helps Owen Grady and others protect the visitors and confront the creature.

Howard returned as Claire in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022). A common mix-up is confusing Claire with Owen Grady, played by Chris Pratt, or with Dr. Ellie Sattler, Laura Dern’s character from the original trilogy.
