Scarlett Johansson is gearing up to face off against dinosaurs in Jurassic World Rebirth, but before she hits the big screen, Jimmy Fallon hit her with a different kind of survival test: Which of her past co-stars could actually make it through a real-life dino attack?
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Fallon put Johansson through a celebrity survival bracket, asking her to pick between pairs of actors based on who she thinks could outlast a Jurassic-style catastrophe. The results were both hilarious and surprisingly well thought out.
Here’s how it went down:
Chris Hemsworth vs. Chris Evans: Scarlett picked Hemsworth. Why? “He’s Australian,” she said, adding that he’s probably toughened up from living among “a lot of scary venomous snakes.” Fair point.
Bill Murray vs. Adam Driver: She went with Driver, and not just because he played Kylo Ren. “He was a Marine,” Johansson reminded Fallon. End of discussion.
Florence Pugh vs. Brie Larson: Brie got the edge here. Scarlett cited Larson’s hardcore fitness, saying, “I’ve watched her push a tire up a hill as part of her training. I’ve watched Florence make a great bruschetta.” Both impressive skills—just not equally useful during a raptor chase.
Sofia Coppola vs. Wes Anderson: Johansson gave the survival nod to Sofia. “Maybe she’s had some interactions with big, honcho type of people,” she said. “She comes from that type of family.” Which… might help in dealing with a T-Rex? Unclear.
Michael Che vs. Colin Jost (her husband): This one got personal. Johansson picked Jost, not just for love, but because he’s from Staten Island. “He’s a tough guy,” she insisted. Staten Island: Nature’s boot camp.
Jurassic World Rebirth stomps into theaters next Wednesday, and while Scarlett’s co-stars might not be in it, they’ve now been unofficially ranked by prehistoric survivability. Start placing your bets now.
