Turner-Smith, who was in her second trimester while shooting the film alongside costarMichael B. Jordan, said it was “super challenging” to train for the “extremely physical role” while “full on” in her pregnancy.

The star explained that she had to be very active as her character Lt. Commander Karen Greer, a Navy SEAL, which made it difficult for her to feel any movement from her unborn daughter.

“Because of how active I was doing an action film, I didn’t feel any movement until I was about 22 weeks [pregnant] so I spent a lot of time during my pregnancy really scared,” the actress said.
