Franklin Webb is a major character in the 2018 sci-fi adventure film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and a minor character in Jurassic World Dominion. He is a scientist analyst and then a member of the FBI, who is part of the Dinosaur Protection Group, to protect the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park that he closed from extinction.
He is portrayed by Justice Smith, who also portrayed Simon Aumar in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Tim Goodman in Pokémon: Detective Pikachu and voiced and motion-captured Ryan Erzahler in The Quarry and voiced Marc Wydell in Ron's Gone Wrong.
Personality[]
Franklin is someone who is afraid of the outside world and shouts nervously at everything that scares him. He is often nervous, meek, paranoid and cowardly, ever since he was scared on a plane to get to see the wildlife of Isla Nublar. He is prone to panic, but he knows how to stay under pressure and in control even when he is in panic. Usually everything scares him, like nature and wildlife, especially Jurassic Park, but he is insecure about it, since he does not live like that and as fragile as he is he knows how to be very competent and intelligent.
Franklin defines himself as "not compatible" with his friends from Jurassic Park and often argues with them because of some of his disapprovals, but he shows genuine respect for them and is also shown to be protective. Even though he is a bit of a coward often, he is not completely, as he shows love for dinosaurs and would do anything to protect them by being sensitive and is the first to step forward when Zia speaks for the dinosaurs and tries to convince everyone to save them. Franklin is also very intelligent, as he has great skills in managing Jurassic Park's social media and technology programs. He is also shown to be a great analyst.
Ultimately, Franklin is a great loyal and selfless friend.
History[]
Background[]
Franklin was born in Los Angeles and spent his childhood glued to the PC and graduated from MIT and is studying as a DPG for Jurassic Park.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom[]
Franklin has been assigned to be on Isla Nublar. He goes there by plane and gets a real scare.
He arrives and finds out that he is in a group with Owen Grady, Claire Dearing and Zia Rodriguez to save Blue. During the mission, however, Franklin and Claire remain stuck inside a bunker of a volcano that slowly begins to fill with lava while Owen and Zia are grappling with Ken Wheatley.
A Baryonyx attacks Franklin and Clarie, but they manage to escape and save Owen riding a Gyrosphere and the rest of the herd and then set off to save Zia and the other captured dinosaurs which they succeed, although in the meantime Franklin has been mistaken for a sailor. Despite this, he manages to save Zia from Lockwood Manor.
The dinosaurs from acid poisoning are saved by Maisie Lockwood. In the end when everyone is safe, Franklin and Zia set off on a journey together.
Jurassic World Dominion[]
Franklin now works as one of the CIA's Dangerous Species Division, with Zia often traveling with him and then Owen and Clarie come to ask for help in identifying Maisie's kidnapper. Although the illegal sale of dinosaurs has been shut down, there is a secret black market in Malta. He puts them in contact with their friend and former Jurassic World colleague, Barry Sembène, before he advised them not get killed during the mission.
Trivia[]
