Luna Blaise of Manifest fame reveals she trained in Muay Thai boxing for Jurassic World Rebirth
Luna Blaise, formerly known for her roles in NBC and Netflix's Manifest, as well as ABC's Fresh Off the Boat, is slated to star in the upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth which comes out on July 2, 2025. In a June 25 interview with NBC's Today show, Luna opened up about her experiences in shooting for Jurassic World Rebirth, including the fact that she learned Muay Thai boxing in Thailand. She made it clear that she expected a physically and emotionally challenging experience and was ready to put her best foot forward. Luna Blaise plays Teresa Delgado in the movie, who's a member of a shipwrecked civilian family alongside her father, Reuben Delgado (played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and younger sister Isabella Delgado (played by Audrina Miranda). Luna Blaise had high praise for the Jurassic World Rebirth crew Luna Blaise agreed with the Today hosts that being a part of the storied Jurassic Park franchise was a dream come true. She also called the crew 'top-tier' and 'the best people around' and said that she was happily cracking jokes and goofing off with them between takes. Jurassic World Rebirth was shot in both Malta and Thailand, and Luna recounted her experiences visiting those places. It wasn't just a vacation either, as the crew often had to deal with challenging weather conditions such as the monsoon season and all the rainfall. When the Today hosts brought up the fact that Luna had trained in Muay Thai boxing, she pointed out that the practice had strong traditional and spiritual roots in Thailand, with each lesson feeling like a ceremony. She then pointed out that she actually took these boxing lessons in the jungle, and her trainers had an interesting solution on how to deal with snakes. According to her, they almost offhandedly mentioned that the car doors were left open, so in case an anaconda or any sort of dangerous snake came, she could just run into the car and shut herself in. Luna showed faith in her co-star, Audrina Miranda The interview closed with the hosts asking her about her relationship with Audrina Miranda, who plays her little sister in the film. Given that Luna herself got her start as a child actor, she said that she was encouraging to Audrina and told her: 'You would not have this opportunity if you weren't ready to have it.' The conversation ended with the Today hosts introducing Luna's mother, who was there to watch her daughter promote the next big chapter in her career. Aside from her film and television career, Luna Blaise has also dabbled in music, with her releasing "Over You" as a single in 2017 and "Secrets" in 2018.

Fantastic Four final trailer gives first ominous look at Galactus's appearance
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the highly anticipated debut foray of Marvel's first family into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, released its final trailer on June 25, and teased the appearance of the formidable main villain, Galactus, for the very first time. The Fantastic Four: First Steps was originally announced back in April 4, 2024, with a viral marketing campaign that doubled as a promotional tie-in to the Marvel Unlimited subscription service. The film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been steadily drip-feeding trailers and previews ever since the release of the first teaser trailer on February 4, 2025. Now, with Galactus finally asserting himself in today's final trailer, the stakes of the film's conflict couldn't be clearer. Fantastic Four villain Galactus first appeared in the original Lee-Kirby comics Who else thinks Sue impales Galactus here The story of Galactus stretches back all the way to the original Fantastic Four comics created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby during Marvel's Silver Age era. The Fantastic Four had been going steady for around five years when 1966's issues 48 to 50 brought about the Galactus trilogy. The Galactus trilogy introduced both the eponymous Galactus, and his herald, the Silver Surfer. When the skies above the earth are set aflame, Reed Richards secludes himself to assess the situation, only to encounter the Watcher, a powerful cosmic being who reveals that he'd been concealing the Earth's existence from the Silver Surfer and his master, the planet-devouring Galactus. The storyline was a high-stakes cosmic conflict, far more ambitious than anything Lee and Kirby had attempted before. The ambition paid off, as the Galactus story arc remains among the most acclaimed and memorable plotlines in the Fantastic Four comics. The Fantastic Four: First Steps harkens back to many of the comic's moments The various trailers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps have harkened back to many iconic scenes originally shown in the Galactus trilogy. From the skies being set ablaze, to the Silver Surfer (this time a female played by Julia Garner) announcing her master's arrival, the film wears its comic-book inspirations on its sleeve. Only time will tell what unique spin the film will give to Lee and Kirby's seminal storyline.
