The Cuban actress portrays Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming psychological drama, inspired by the 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates.
Andrew Dominik's merciless fever dream, Blonde, stars a miraculous Ana de Armas as screen icon Marilyn Monroe.
Chris Evans shares what his reaction was to seeing Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde for the first time and hypes her Oscar chances.
Trailers for the film have already shown off just how immersed de Armas became in the world of Monroe and, as has been seen with a number of films in the past, the Academy Awards does have a penchant for recognizing actors who undergo significant transformations, especially when it comes to embodying iconic historical figures. [Variety](https://variety.com/2022/awards/features/ana-de-armas-marilyn-monroe-blonde-netflix-1235377948/), Evans recalls his first reaction to seeing de Armas' camera test as Monroe in Blonde. Thankfully, fans of de Armas now have less than a week to wait before Blonde releases on Netflix and they can see whether Evans' glowing endorsement rings true. De Armas later collaborated with Evans again on this summer's The Gray Man, an action thriller from Netflix in which she played a supporting role. 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. The film, which is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, is based on a book of the same name by author Joyce Carol Oates.
Ana de Armas explains how her fan-favorite No Time To Die character, Paloma, was affected by her role as Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming Blonde.
While early reviews for Blonde have been somewhat mixed, de Armas evidently gave the role her all, and it's possible she'll have to recapture that energy once more if Paloma ever crops up again in the world of Bond following No Time To Die. While the connection between Paloma and Monroe may not have been obvious to most No Time To Die viewers, it's possible that rewatching the latest Bond film after the release of Blonde will allow for similarities between the two characters to become more apparent. [Variety](https://variety.com/2022/awards/features/ana-de-armas-marilyn-monroe-blonde-netflix-1235377948/), de Armas explains that she actually filmed Blonde before No Time To Die and that the fast turnaround between projects ultimately led to a bit of overlap between the two characters. [No Time To Die](https://screenrant.com/tag/bond-25/), was affected by her performance as Marilyn Monroe in [Blonde](https://screenrant.com/tag/blonde/). After giving months of her life to capturing the essence of Monroe, de Armas reveals that, in hindsight, there are some elements of the starlet in Paloma, such as "her energy and her charm."
