During a recent interview with Premiere.fr, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow revealed what actor Omar Sy's character was going to be in the film. As it turns out, Omar's character is quite an important one, being a close friend to Owen (Chris Pratt's character), Omar plays the role of a "Velociraptor Tamer" and most of his action scenes involve the Raptors in some capacity. Read on for excerpts from the interview!

"I wrote the role especially for Omar, I'm a huge fan, I spent a lot of time in France, my wife is French. He has a bigger role than you think - he works for Chris Pratt and is also a Raptor tamer. When Chris, who's in charge, is done with training the Velociraptors, Omar brings them to their cage and takes care of them, checking their teeth, these kind of things. He has a very special relationship with them. There's a great scene with Vincent D'Onofrio when Omar speaks French to the Raptors and Vincent pretends to understand what he's saying. I have not tried to Americanize him - he is French and has a great action scene. Everything he does results in a close relationship with the Velociraptors."

When asked if Omar's character will die in Jurassic World, Colin responded by saying:

"Ah ah no! Everybody expects him to die. I think you'll like what we've planned for him. No one wants to see Omar die."
