Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum at Fly Me To The Moon premiere (2024)

Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum led the stars at the premiere of their new film Fly Me To The Moon on Monday.

The Marvel actress, 39, and the Magic Mike alum, 44, looked absolutely incredible as they took over the red carpet at the AMC Lincoln Square in New York City.

Showing a glimpse of her sculpted abs in a chic yellow gingham top and matching skirt, the blonde bombshell radiated movie star glamour.

Scarlett kept her hair elegantly pinned back in a loose bun, showcasing her natural beauty with minimal makeup, while she held hands with her husband Colin Jost.

Channing, meanwhile, cut a striking figure in a navy pinstripe suit complemented by an open-collar black shirt.

The co-stars new film, hitting theaters on July 12, is a romantic comedy that imagines NASA filming a fake moon landing as a backup plan in case the Apollo 11 mission encounters difficulties.

Tatum portrays a NASA official overseeing the Apollo 11 moon landing, while Johansson takes on the role of a marketing executive hired to film the contingency fake moon landing.

Their characters clash, and flirt, as they navigate this unconventional backup plan.

'He’s not hard to fall in love with, I would say,' Scarlet shared during an appearance on Monday's Today.

'He’s just very charismatic. … He’s just [an] absolutely loveable guy.'

Describing Tatum as 'easygoing' and ' professional,' Scarlett mentioned that they quickly formed a bond on set.

'It was nice to just be like, "OK, so what’s your story? Where are we connecting,"'she explained. 'And I think it was just easy chemistry, and again, he’s easy on the eyes.'

She added about their characters' plot line: 'We have this kind of meet cute and then don’t realize that we’re actually, kind of, working as polar opposites.

'And so, there’s a lot of friction there. And he is very by the books, he has a ton of integrity. He is kind of a control freak, and I am just not something that he can control.'

Scarlet also admitted that she and Channing had been in two other films together, but had never shared dialogue.

'He and Anne Hathaway did a little part in Don Jon where they recreated a romantic comedy and then again we worked - well I wouldn't say together - but we were both part of Hail, Caesar! and so this was the first time we actually got to have dialogue.'

Under the direction of Greg Berlanti, Fly Me to the Moon features a cast including Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano, and Jim Rash.

Scarlet shared on Today that the film takes inspiration from real-world theories and controversies surrounding the moon landing.

'I have a production company here in New York called These Pictures, and one of our associates, our head of film, Keenan, was toying around with this idea of... what if this conspiracy theory was true? Could you build a genre movie around it?' she explained.

In the same interview, the actress opened up about Colin'supcoming Olympics reporting job in Tahiti.

Colin, 42, is set to cover the surfing competition at the Paris Olympics as part of NBC’s Olympic coverage.

Beginning July 27, he will report live from Teahupo’o, Tahiti, located in French Polynesia.

Scarlet noted that the SNL star, being an enthusiastic surfer himself, was particularly thrilled to secure this opportunity.

'When they announced the Paris Olympics, he immediately found out that they were doing the surf competition in Tahiti, which is so cool. He loves to surf, we have a place in Montauk, he’s always out there surfing,' she told Savannah Guthrie.

'And somehow the dream became a reality, and now he’s going to be in Tahiti for two weeks, and I’m like, "Poor you,"' she added, drawing a fake tear down her cheek.
