Now that the official trailer for Blonde has hit the internet, and it features Ana as Marilyn Monroe talking to Bobby Cannavale's Joe DiMaggio as she explains how she got her start in movies. According to the official plot synopsis, the film works to “boldly reimagine the life of one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons, Marilyn Monroe." While she's still a relatively new performer to many Americans, Ana de Armas has quickly become a familiar face on the big screen.

“‘BLONDE’ blurs the lines of fact and fiction to explore the widening split between her public and private selves,” a synopsis for the film states. The film is based on the bestselling novel by Joyce Carol Oates and releases later this year. The actress embodies the iconic late star in a movie for Netflix titled, “BLONDE.” It takes viewers through the life of Monroe, starting from when she was a child.

The trailer for Netflix's Blonde has resulted in a backlash regarding Ana de Armas's Cuban accent, yet the issue could actually be good for the movie.

Besides, no movie is completely factual in every detail anyway, and de Armas’s accent is not the only discrepancy about Marilyn Monroe’s life as it's portrayed in Blonde. Meanwhile, the trailer otherwise shows de Armas has completely transformed into Marilyn, mastering her personality traits, so her accent should not be an issue for her overall performance. Oates’s novel is told from Marilyn Monroe’s perspective, and Dominik has maintained this device and expanded it to include how the world viewed Marilyn Monroe compared to how she viewed herself as Norma Jeane, her real name. Now, the release of the trailer has brought additional criticism of Ana de Armas's portrayal of the tragic Hollywood figure, and it's entirely absurd.

Ana de Armas portrays Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe in the first full trailer for Netflix's 'Blonde,' arriving in September.

The first teaser for Netflix‘s Blonde revealed Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe to the world. Fame is what made Marilyn the most visible person in the world, but it also made Norma the most invisible.” Many fans also appreciate that the trailer is “hauntingly beautiful,” as a few call it. In an interview with Netflix Queue, de Armas describes the process she underwent to become Monroe and the story they wanted to tell. Netflix released the first full trailer which is a blend of majesty and horror. Monroe’s story is one of beauty and tragedy as she went from one of Hollywood’s biggest stars to a tragic figure representing stardom’s unfortunate side effects.
