8 Disconcerting Things About The New Jurassic World Trailer
3. Super Serious Chris Pratt
As mentioned briefly in the last point, Chris Pratt looks super serious in this trailer. And given that he's renowned for comic characters, it's weird to see him acting so po-faced in the footage here. The brilliance of Chris Pratt, of course, stems from the fact that he's goofy and loveable, which is what made him perfect for the likes of Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy. He suited that type of action hero down to the ground. So whereas fans were presumably expecting something along the same lines for his character in Jurassic World, so far it appears as though we're going to get a very solemn character instead. Hopefully it turns out that we've badly misjudged his personality from the footage, and Pratt is actually given opportunity to be his usual self-deprecating and funny self, as well as stoic and sensible. Don't waste his awesome comic chops!
