Chris Evans shares his reaction to seeing Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde for the first time and hypes her Oscar chances: '‘That’s you? Holy s--t! You’re going to win an Oscar for this!’”
Chris Evans shares what his first reaction was to seeing Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. Although de Armas has been acting since she was a teenager, it wasn't until her roles in films like Blade Runner 2049 and Knives Out that the star became well-known to American audiences. Knives Out saw de Armas take on the role of Marta Cabrera, a nurse who becomes embroiled in a complex murder mystery plot alongside Evans' nefarious character, Ransom.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY After a fan-favorite turn in No Time to Die, de Armas is next slated to appear in Blonde, a fictionalized account of the life and death of 1950s icon Marilyn Monroe. The film, which is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, is based on a book of the same name by author Joyce Carol Oates.
“I think this was one of the first opportunities she had to really sink her teeth into something incredibly demanding. I didn’t see one bit of fear; I saw excitement. I remember looking at [her camera test] and saying, ‘OK, that’s Marilyn … where’s your shot? That’s you? Holy s--t! You’re going to win an Oscar for this!’”
Could Ana de Armas Win An Oscar For Playing Marilyn Monroe? Although de Armas is now a very well-known actor in Hollywood, Blonde marks the actor's first major transformation for a leading role.
It remains to be seen how Blonde will fair with general audiences upon its release on Netflix, but if early reviews are any indication, de Armas' performance alone will be reason enough for many viewers to seek the film out. Despite glowing reviews for de Armas' performance, however, Blonde's graphic subject matter and NC-17 rating could deter at least some audiences. However, it's unclear if the controversial rating will have any impact on her Oscar chances.
