Fresh off of the back of Guardians of Galaxy, Chris Pratt - who has gone from playing schlubby Andy Dwyer on TV's Parks and Recreation to playing incredibly toned, handsome leading men - will provide our main character in a guy named Owen, an ex-military man who works with the animals at Jurassic World. Presumably he'll get to spend two hours punching them in the face when they eventually escape. Just look at the picture. Look how cool he is. It's hard to believe he's even the same guy! Anyway, Chris Pratt appears to have been decided upon by Hollywood as the new leading man for a number of super important blockbusters, and we have faith he'll deliver what's necessary to make Jurassic World awesome (he did so for Guardians of the Galaxy, after all). But will this mark his first "straight" role?
