New Jurassic World Movie Adds Manifest Star to Cast

The cast of the new Jurassic World movie is continuing to expand.

Per Deadline, Luna Blaise has been tapped to join the cast of Universal’s upcoming Jurassic World movie. It is not immediately clear who she’ll be playing.

She’ll join Scarlett Johansson, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, and Rupert Friend in the film, which is being directed by Gareth Edwards.

Plot details for the new Jurassic World movie remain under wraps at this time. The last Jurassic World movie, Jurassic World Dominion, was released in 2022 and made approximately $1.004 billion at the global box office.

Blaise is best known for playing Olive Stone in Manifest, which premiered on NBC in 2018. The series was initially canceled by NBC after three seasons; although, Netflix made a fourth and final season of the series that premiered in November 2022.

She additionally played Nicole in Fresh Off the Boat and has starred in movies such as 2015’s Memoria and 2023’s Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
