Luna Blaise Spills Scarlett Johansson’s Empowerment Tips on Jurassic World Rebirth Set
So, here’s the lowdown straight from Jurassic World Rebirth’s NYC premiere—Luna Blaise has officially added Scarlett Johansson to her personal A-list life-coach roster. The 23-year-old rising star, known for her breakout turn on Manifest, hit the red carpet June 23 and dished to E! News on how she soaked up some next-level on-set wisdom from the Marvel icon. Johansson, a two-time Oscar nominee and bona fide alpha female in Hollywood, apparently leaned in and told Blaise point-blank: “Hold your own. Being a woman on set, being number one and the captain of that ship, know your worth, know you’re there for a reason. You wouldn’t have been given the opportunity if you weren’t ready for it.”
Blaise didn’t hesitate to crown Scarlett “auntie” in her corner. “That’s number one, wow. That’s my girl. I’ll go to bat for her anytime,” she quipped, cementing the duo as the set’s unofficial mentor-mentee power pair. But if you thought that was the only Hollywood friendship brewing in those tropical Thai jungles, think again. Jonathan Bailey—fresh off Wicked reshoots—waltzed onto set with “magical wonder” energy, according to Blaise. The Bridgerton alum was allegedly hopping between dance rehearsals and dinosaur scenes without missing a beat. “He’s continuing to dance through life, babe,” she laughed, underscoring the easy esprit de corps that developed under sweltering shoot days and intense stunt training.
Beyond Johansson and Bailey, Luna made quick pals with co-stars Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend, all bulking up for grueling physical sequences and night shoots in remote locales. After weeks of cordyceps-style workouts and face-to-face duels with animatronic T-Rexes (no biggie), the ensemble wrapped as a tight-knit crew. “We’re all just so stoked,” Blaise said, eyes sparkling with genuine pride. The film—which reunites franchise vet Mahershala Ali with newcomer Philippine Velge and even welcomes franchise producer Frank Marshall—lands in theaters July 2.
Red carpet highlights ranged from Gareth Edwards’s stylish cameo to Audrina Miranda’s sleek jumpsuit nod to dino-DNA. E! News and Universal Pictures (yes, the same NBCUniversal fam that gave us Saturday Night Live) captured every spotlight moment, ensuring Jurassic World Rebirth stays top of mind for summer blockbusters.
Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
