Whether this was an interesting coincidence or not, we will find out in the coming months.
‘Wednesday’ and ‘Beetlejuice’ Beetlejuice’ star Jenna Ortega’s career may be at its peak right now, but it could reach a whole new level in the near future — given how well the actress’ recent recognition and a big announcement from a famous director coincided.
And while no details about the upcoming film have been revealed yet, Ortega’s fans are hoping she’ll soon land the coveted role of Joan of Arc in the upcoming film from the ‘The Great Gatsby’ and ‘Moulin Rouge!’ Luhrmann-based director.
This isn’t the first day the Internet has discussed the astonishing coincidence in Ortega and Luhrmann’s career ambitions. Just a few days before the announcement of the new historical drama directed by Ortega, she admitted in an interview that her greatest dream was to play Joan of Arc, the national heroine of France who led French troops to one of the major victories during World War II, the Hundred Years’ War of 1429.
After some time, Baz Luhrmann also began to talk about Joan of Arc – the director announced his intention to dedicate a whole film to the heroine, work on which had already begun. So far, according to sources, the actress for the main role has not yet been found, but it is safe to say that Jenna Ortega will definitely not miss this casting.
Fans of the actress, meanwhile, are anxiously awaiting further news from Luhrmann’s team, confident that Ortega can already be considered an ideal candidate for the role. In addition to her personal desire to play a famous historical figure, Ortega has already demonstrated her acting talent repeatedly in a wide range of projects – meaning that it is unlikely that even such a responsible role will scare her.
