Working on a big budget-movie is a massive job, one that often lasts for months and contains very long hours. Actors can get quite close a result, and that's seemingly the case with the cast of Jurassic World Rebirth. And after Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson were photographed kissing at premiers, the Wicked actor has posted a steamy photo of him biting her neck. Let's break it all down.

After going viral for their red carpet smooches, Bailey explained why he and Scarlett Johansson love being so affectionate with each other. One might have assumed this would slow after Rebirth arrived in theaters, but that's not happening. Case in point: a photo on Instagram that Bailey (and The Shameless Fund) posted. Check it out below:

And just like that, Bailey and Johansson have broken the internet again. While he's not threat to her marriage to Colin Jost, it looks like the star of Bridgerton (which is streaming with a Netflix subscription) is using their penchant for making headlines for a good cause. Namely the The Shameless Fund, which is an organization that raises money and awareness for the LGBTQ+ community. In fact, they're a collaborator on this steamy image of the two actors.

For his part, Jost has already responded to their affection, and isn't threatened by a kiss hello between friends. I have to assume that Bailey and The Shameless Fund knew how many eyes would get on this photo, hopefully bringing attention to the charity in the process. I mean, the last photo that was posted before this one was a shirtless thirst trap of Bailey aka the internet's boyfriend.

Clearly this pair of actors have good chemistry, and I have to wonder if they'll be paired together in another Jurassic movie. There hasn't been any news from the studio, although Rebirth made money upon its release. While it got a mixed response from critics (see CinemaBlend's Jurassic World Rebirth review here), audiences rated it much higher. We'll just have to see if this dynamic duo gets to collaborate again in a sequel to their recent franchise debut.

The end of Rebirth saw all of our heroes survive, including Johansson's Zora Bennett, Bailey's Dr. Henry Loomis, and Mahershala Ali's Duncan Kincaid, with the latter looking like a goner during the movie's final conflict with the D. rex. As such, we should presumably be able to get this trio back together for another adventure if/when Universal greenlights another one.

Luckily for fans of Jonathan Bailey, he'll once again be swoon-worthy when Wicked: For Good hits theaters November 21st as part of the 2025 movie release list. And fans will likely be paying attention to how much affection he shares with the rest of the Wicked cast.
