While many want Ana de Armas to step into the shoes of Wonder Woman as Peter Safran and James Gunn reenvision the DC Universe,&nbsp;the actress seems uninterested in the same. In a recent conversation about her new film Ghosted, she denied rumours of signing Gunn's DCU as the new Wonder Woman.

The Blonde star was recently asked about her hypothetical casting as Wonder Woman in an interview with Wired. Refuting rumours, she said, "Well, I feel like Gal Gadot is doing a great job,"&nbsp;before adding, "I think she should keep doing that."

Gadot's future as Wonder Woman is currently uncertain. Prior to the scrapping of Wonder Woman 3, Gadot shared a post on her official Twitter handle to&nbsp;express gratitude for being able to play the iconic superhero role.

"A few years ago it was announced that I was going to play Wonder Woman. I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to play such an incredible, iconic character and more than anything I’m grateful for YOU. The fans. Can’t wait to share her next chapter with you," Gadot tweeted.

Patty Jenkins also&nbsp;released a statement saying, "I never walked away. I was open to considering anything asked of me. It was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time. DC is obviously buried in changes they are having to make, so I understand these decisions are difficult right now."

Meanwhile, De Armas recently paid homage to her Cuban roots while hosting her first Saturday Night Live&nbsp;episode. While delivering her SNL&nbsp;monologue, she revealed that the popular American sitcom Friends helped her learn English.

"I speak English," De Armas said. "But I didn’t when I first got to the US. I was born in Cuba. I came to America when I was 26, and I learnt English the way everyone who comes to this country does: by watching Friends."

Ana de Armas says she's not the next Wonder Woman; praises Gal Gadot

Ghosted's reviews are here. Chris Evans and Ana de Armas' romantic comedy action film has clearly not pleased critics. It holds a rating of 29 per cent on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, and that is only after 7 reviews. The film is directed by Rocketman helmer Dexter Fletcher and has the two stars as lovers who experience a rift in their relationship when a secret comes out. The film is written by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Chris McKenna, and Erik Sommers, who used a story by Reese and Wernick. In Ghosted, Evans' Cole falls in love with Sadie (Armas). But he later discovers that she is a secret agent.&nbsp;

Ghosted's official synopsis read, "Salt-of-the-earth Cole (Evans) falls head over heels for enigmatic Sadie (de Armas)—but then makes the shocking discovery that she’s a secret agent. Before they can decide on a second date, Cole and Sadie are swept away on an international adventure to save the world."

<h2>Here are some of Ghosted's reviews:</h2>

The Daily Beast's Nick Schager wrote, "Featuring not a single convincing element or exchange, this fiasco plays like a wannabe-Knight and Day exercise in eliciting annoyed reactions: groans for its awful one-liners, exclamations for its moronic plot twists, and eyerolls for its terrible CGI and desperate cameos. It feels like ChatGPT wrote it, and the fact that it didn’t is all the more damning for those who did."

Paste Magazine's Jesse Hassenger wrote, "Ghosted, as it turns out, is not strictly a romantic comedy. This is not necessarily a dealbreaker, because even at its cutest, it’s rarely funny. No, it belongs to a peculiar subgenre making the rounds on streaming services with money to burn: the vaguely tone-deaf big-star caper revival. Evans and de Armas have already dabbled in it with Netflix’s The Gray Man, and a cast member from Red Notice, which this movie even more closely resembles, makes a cameo here."

Solzy at the Movies' Danielle Solzman was one of the kinder reviews. She wrote, "Ghosted is elevated by the chemistry between Chris Evans and Ana de Armas as they are always fun to watch and might very well become this generation's Tracy and Hepburn."

Ghosted review roundup: Critics ghost this Chris Evans, Ana de Armas movie

Did you know Ana de Armas learned to speak English from Friends? The Spanish actress recently made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut, and during her monologue, the James Bond actress shared that she&nbsp;learned English from the 90s famous sitcom.&nbsp; 
 
Starting her speech in Spanish, Armas said that she was happy to host the sketch. However, she later started speaking in English and said, ''Just kidding. I speak English. But I didn't when I first got to the U.S.''

Born in Cuba, Ana moved to the United States when she was 26 years old and during her speech, she said, “I learned English the way everyone who comes to this country does — by watching ‘Friends.''' 
 
Further talking, De Armas named the character of the show that helped her in English and any guess, who it was? It's Chandler Bing.&nbsp; 
 
Ana said jokingly, "Who would have thought that the best English tutor would be Chandler Bing? I mean, look at me now. Could I be any better at English?" 
 
The Blonde star recently made history by becoming the first Cuba-born actress to land&nbsp;an Academy Award nomination for her outstanding work in&nbsp;the Netflix film Blonde. The actress made her SNL debut wearing a stunning black leather dress.&nbsp; 
 
During her monologue, the actress also shared a sweet gesture from actor Robert DeNiro. Giving a shout-out to the veteran actor, Armas said how DeNiro once surprised her father by showing up at his office in Cuba without any prior notice.

<h2>What are some of the early reactions to&nbsp;John Wick 4?</h2>

Los Angeles Times critic Katie Walsh tweeted, "I really liked #JohnWick4! Amazing to remember that big franchise blockbusters can look like this (good). Dan Lausten, you have my heart, my sword, my whatever. Didn't feel too long, you can ignore the lore (who cares!!). There is one (1) thing that I hated (because it's dumb)."

Collider's Steven Weintraub wrote, "#JohnWickChapter4 is f*cking awesome. Literally had to pick my jaw off the ground from some of the insane and inventive set pieces. You are not prepared for what Keanu does with the dragon's breath shotgun. Also @DonnieYenCT brought his A game. Can't wait to see it again."

CinemaBlend's Eric Eisenberg wrote, "I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4's nearly three hour runtime, but the movie earns it. It's an epic with smart pacing that never lets the action feel exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of series newcomers, but Donnie Yen is the MVP. #JohnWick4"

Digital Spy's Ian Sandwell wrote, "John Wick: Chapter 4 is absolutely HUGE. Yes, it's long, but its outrageously good set pieces more than make up for it. A slick, brutal and stylish action epic that sees Keanu Reeves push himself further than before, and with moments that'll have fans talking... #JohnWick4."

Consequence's Liz Shannon Miller wrote, "#JohnWick4's three-hour runtime makes so much sense when you're going *that* hard. The third act alone... just glorious.

Ana de Armas essayed the American actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's biopic Blonde. Based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, the film divided critics, though everyone agreed Armas was transcendent in the role. Now the Cuban-Spanish actress has responded to the backlash. She said when the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, the reaction to it was much more positive but reactions by US media get more attention. She told The Hollywood Reporter, "It was not a movie that was made to please people or to make people like it. It is a hard movie to watch."

WION's review of the movie was mixed. A section of the review read, "The camera focusses predominantly on Armas, and the film stands or tumbles on her performance.

Armas is too good an actress to simply imitate Monroe. What she does is an interpretation, capturing the depth of the late starlet's psyche. It is a full-bodied, heartbreaking performance that makes the character more complicated than the script could ever dream to manage."

Ana de Armas defends mixed reception to Blonde: 'It wasn't made to please people'

Ana De Armas feels that social media is to be blamed for the newer generations to not have a concept of a movie star. With overexposure of content, the actress feels, social media has ruined it for the younger generation. In an interview, the Blonde actress said, “I feel like the new generations don’t have that concept, because of social media. There is so much information out there and oversharing. The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen. That mystery is gone. For the most part, we’ve done that to ourselves—nobody’s keeping anything from anyone anymore.”

“Things are always wrong on social media” added Ana on why she doesn’t like to be active on social media platforms. She’s there on Instagram but she hardly uses it.&nbsp;

“If it was up to me, I would delete Instagram right now, but I can’t. I understand that I’m not just an actress. I have other brands that I’m working with and I have other commitments. It’s been good for Blonde and for films that I want to talk about. It’s tricky because you feel the pressure to share some personal insight, or something about your private life, to keep people interested in you. You have to find a balance somehow, which I find very difficult,” she added.&nbsp;

The actress was last seen playing the role of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. The performance earned her nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, British Academy Film Awards and the Academy Awards.

Next time a movie studio makes any false advertisement or releases deceptive movie trailers that discredit an artist, they will have to face legal action. A US district judge issued a ruling in a case involving ‘Yesterday’ which is a 2019 film about a world without the Beatles.&nbsp;

The case was filed by actress Ana de Armas fans who thought the film starred her as she featured in the trailer of the same. They rented the movie after seeing her in the trailer only to find out that she was cut out of the final film.&nbsp;

They filed a lawsuit in January.&nbsp;

Universal sought to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that movie trailers are entitled to broad protection under the First Amendment. The studio’s lawyers argued that a trailer is an “artistic, expressive work” that tells a three-minute story conveying the theme of the movie, and should thus be considered “non-commercial” speech.

But the judge rejected that argument, finding that a trailer is commercial speech and is subject to the California False Advertising Law and the state’s Unfair Competition Law.

Andrew Dominik's 'Blonde' clocks at 166 minutes and feels almost twice as long. Some of the early reviews disparagingly called the movie 'misery porn' or some such, but I cannot wholly agree. Monroe is a figure that a film based on her life would feel lacking if her glorious and tragic life was not depicted in its unvarnished form. But 'Blonde', adapted by Dominik from Joyce Carol Oates' eponymous 2000 novel, does often go overboard. At times, despite the big names, the bells and whistles, and palpable prestige production quality, it ventures into the sleazy territory -- no different from the men who used and discarded Monroe like a plaything.

Born Norma Jean, Monroe is remembered as one of the most iconic female stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and a sex symbol. Due to accounts of her life, we know that beneath the glittering, smiling exterior, she was a mentally ill, lonely wreck of a woman. She had the misfortune to be work in Hollywood at a time when misogyny was rampant. Female actors were hired for their looks and sex appeal. The film's title evokes the blonde stereotypes of that era that have not died down even now. The thinking went that blonde women are dumb but more sexually attractive than brunettes or redheads.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aIsFywuZPoQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The marketing of 'Blonde' has used terms like 'reimagining' for the story, and the script (and the novel, I presume) does fill in Monroe's life with invented material where there are blanks. In short, 'Blonde' is not a biopic, clinging to the alleged truthfulness of the events like many biopics inevitably do. But if one is indeed fictionalising much of Monroe's life, why not go all the way? Why not give her charge of her own story? It's a film, not a documentary, and films can be fairy tales... they can be happy.

If indeed the film was going the "realistic" way, it fails at that as well. There is no real insight here. Yes, Monroe was overly sexualised, raped, infantilised, used, abused by men, the media and even her fans. And yes, she suffered from mental illnesses and all this was a result of a difficult childhood. But all that has been known for decades. 'Blonde' offers nothing that we do not already know.&nbsp;

The NC-17 rating ensures that in the movie Dominik was allowed a fair bit of nudity, physical violence, and sexual assault scenes.&nbsp;

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VnI2MyS6fgo" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The camera focusses predominantly on Armas, and the film stands or tumbles on her performance. Luckily, the performance in question is absolutely amazing. It manages to capture at once her pain, her exhaustion, and her childlike delight, and her different moods. Armas is too good an actress to simply imitate Monroe. What she does is an interpretation, capturing the depth of the late starlet's psyche. It is a full-bodied, heartbreaking performance that makes the character more complicated than the script could ever dream to manage.

'Blonde' is also a good-looking movie. Chayse Irvin's camera crafts truly wonderfully evocative visuals, particularly while&nbsp;recreating the iconic images that have come to&nbsp;associate&nbsp;with Monroe. But even that feels exploitative after a while. &nbsp;

At the end, it is the punishing run time that truly kills 'Blonde'. Dominik's overindulgent and overwrought script, in perhaps an attempt to emulate auteurs, needlessly elongates several scenes.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
'Blonde' is not a bad film. It probably deserves a watch just for Armas and the visuals -- provided you will last those nearly three hours. But as far as films on public figures go, it has nothing substantial or compelling to say that would make it a film worthy of Monroe.

Andrew Dominik's 'Blonde' clocks at 166 minutes and feels almost twice as long. Some of the early reviews disparagingly called the movie 'misery porn' or some such, but I cannot wholly agree.

Andrew Dominik's 'Blonde' clocks at 166 minutes and feels almost twice as long. Some of the early reviews disparagingly called the movie 'misery porn' or some such, but I cannot wholly agree. Monroe is a figure that a film based on her life would feel lacking if her glorious and tragic life was not depicted in its unvarnished form. But 'Blonde', adapted by Dominik from Joyce Carol Oates' eponymous 2000 novel, does often go overboard. At times, despite the big names, the bells and whistles, and palpable prestige production quality, it ventures into the sleazy territory -- no different from the men who used and discarded Monroe like a plaything. Born Norma Jean, Monroe is remembered as one of the most iconic female stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and a sex symbol. Due to accounts of her life, we know that beneath the glittering, smiling exterior, she was a mentally ill, lonely wreck of a woman. She had the misfortune to be work in Hollywood at a time when misogyny was rampant. Female actors were hired for their looks and sex appeal. The film's title evokes the blonde stereotypes of that era that have not died down even now. The thinking went that blonde women are dumb but more sexually attractive than brunettes or redheads. The marketing of 'Blonde' has used terms like 'reimagining' for the story, and the script (and the novel, I presume) does fill in Monroe's life with invented material where there are blanks. In short, 'Blonde' is not a biopic, clinging to the alleged truthfulness of the events like many biopics inevitably do. But if one is indeed fictionalising much of Monroe's life, why not go all the way? Why not give her charge of her own story? It's a film, not a documentary, and films can be fairy tales... they can be happy. If indeed the film was going the "realistic" way, it fails at that as well. There is no real insight here. Yes, Monroe was overly sexualised, raped, infantilised, used, abused by men, the media and even her fans. And yes, she suffered from mental illnesses and all this was a result of a difficult childhood. But all that has been known for decades. 'Blonde' offers nothing that we do not already know. The NC-17 rating ensures that in the movie Dominik was allowed a fair bit of nudity, physical violence, and sexual assault scenes. The camera focusses predominantly on Armas, and the film stands or tumbles on her performance. Luckily, the performance in question is absolutely amazing. It manages to capture at once her pain, her exhaustion, and her childlike delight, and her different moods. Armas is too good an actress to simply imitate Monroe. What she does is an interpretation, capturing the depth of the late starlet's psyche. It is a full-bodied, heartbreaking performance that makes the character more complicated than the script could ever dream to manage. 'Blonde' is also a good-looking movie. Chayse Irvin's camera crafts truly wonderfully evocative visuals, particularly while recreating the iconic images that have come to associate with Monroe. But even that feels exploitative after a while. At the end, it is the punishing run time that truly kills 'Blonde'. Dominik's overindulgent and overwrought script, in perhaps an attempt to emulate auteurs, needlessly elongates several scenes. 'Blonde' is not a bad film. It probably deserves a watch just for Armas and the visuals -- provided you will last those nearly three hours. But as far as films on public figures go, it has nothing substantial or compelling to say that would make it a film worthy of Monroe.

'Blonde' movie review: A splendid Ana de Armas gives her career-best performance in this middling film

Cuban actress Ana de Armas recently spoke to a publication and addressed the disturbing scenes she had to do as Marilyn Monroe or more accurately Norma Jeane Mortenson for Netflix's 'Blonde'. Unlike the film's version of the Hollywood legend, de Armas says she felt entirely in control of all of her scenes and she felt completely "safe and protected" even during the nude scenes.

The 34-year-old actress also stated that it's harder for people to watch those disturbing scenes than for her to make them because she understood what she was doing and felt protected and safe.&nbsp;

"I didn't feel exploited because I was in control. I made that decision. I knew what the movie I was doing," Ana told Entertainment Weekly. "I trusted my director. I felt like I was in a safe environment. We had hundreds of conversations about these scenes. Everyone felt a deep respect for the movie we were making. And in that sense, I had no fear. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, even though they were really hard scenes."

While talking about the blowjob scene that resulted in the film getting an NC-17 rating, she shared, "We actually did two takes of that scene only." She further added, "We had an intimacy coordinator with us all the time, and she was very helpful. But I wouldn't even say these scenes were more difficult than any other scene. It was just a part of a whole story. I knew exactly what the shot was going to be."

"I knew exactly what was going to be seen, what was not going to be seen, and it felt like it was the right thing to do."

The actress researched for nearly nine months to channel Monroe. She watched films, worked with a dialect coach, and conversed with Dominik about their version of the blonde bombshell. And after her research, she discovered that Monroe's voice changed a lot throughout the years.

"She used to stammer and felt insecure. She wanted to sound more elevated and well-studied and smart. You see one movie and it sounds like this, and then you watch another one, it sounds completely different," de Armas said.

'Blonde' will premiere on Netflix on September 28.

Ana De Armas opens up about 'Blonde' nude scenes: 'I didn't feel exploited'

Hollywood star Ana de Armas finds it 'disgusting' that her nude scenes from the highly anticipated Netflix film 'Blonde' will most likely go viral on the internet. 
 
According to Fox News, the fictional biopic 'Blonde,' which is based on the biography of Marilyn Monroe, marks its streaming service debut on September 28. 
 
De Armas spoke openly about her anticipated response to the nude scenes when she spoke to Variety. The 34-year-old actress was the first to comment on the scenes and she stated, "I know what`s going to go viral." 
 
"And it`s disgusting. It`s upsetting just to think about it. I can't control it, you can't really control what they do and how they take things out of context. I don't think it gave me second thoughts, it just gave me a bad taste to think about the future of those clips," she continued.

The actor continued, saying that even though the movie was outside of her comfort zone, she nevertheless agreed to do it for the movie`s director Andrew Dominik and the legendary Monroe."I did things in this movie I would have never done for anyone else, ever. I did it for her, and I did it for Andrew," said she. 
 
De Armas revealed that she made a commitment to playing Marilyn Monroe and even paid a visit to her grave while filming."I couldn't shake it off. I couldn't let her go. I went to visit her at her cemetery a few times -- I would have liked to go one more time," she said. 
 
De Armas was confused by the NC-17 rating given to 'Blonde.' In general, a movie receives an NC-17 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America when it has gratuitous violence, obscene sex and/or nudity, and/or harsh language.&nbsp; 
 
An NC-17 rating differs from an R rating in that kids under the age of 17 are not permitted to enter an NC-17 movie, but they are permitted to watch rated R movies in theatres with an adult present.The Cuban actor claims she has seen movies with considerably more explicit content and doesn`t understand why 'Blonde' received such a rating, as per the reports of Fox News.De Armas made her film debut in 'Knives Out,' playing the lead character 'Blonde.' 
 
When her hiring was revealed, Monroe supporters criticised the studio`s choice to hire her because she had a Cuban accent and speaks English.&nbsp;

The actress had the support of the Marilyn Monroe Estate, whose rep, Mark Rosen, told Variety that although the estate doesn't sanction the film, "Ana was a great casting choice as she captures Marilyn`s glamour, humanity, and vulnerability." 
 
The first NC-17-rated movie to be released on Netflix is 'Blonde,' which is scheduled to debut on September 28.&nbsp;

Can't control bold scenes from 'Blonde' going viral: Ana de Armas

Ana de Armas will soon be seen in the role of Marilyn Monroe in a biopic titled 'Blonde'. The Cuban-Spanish actor plays the role of Norma Jeane Mortenson, better known as Marilyn Monroe. Remembered as one of the most iconic female stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood and a sex symbol, Monroe's professional life was apparently glitzy and glamorous, but secretly she was dealing with mental illness issues that eventually culminated in her tragic suicide. This is what the film aims to explore -- the Monroe who we did not get to see. Andrew Dominik has written and directed the film.&nbsp;

In a recent interview, Armas claimed that she visited the grave of Monroe to pay respects and also ask permission to portray her in the movie. She told anothermag.com, "We got this big card and everyone in the crew wrote a message to her. Then we went to the cemetery and put it on her grave. We were asking for permission in a way."

She added, “Everyone felt a huge responsibility, and we were very aware of the side of the story we were going to tell – the story of Norma Jeane, the person behind this character, Marilyn Monroe. Who was she really?”

Monroe is buried at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

The official YouTube description of 'Blonde', says, "Discover a life both known and unknown in this boldly imaginative film from Director Andrew Dominik that explores the complicated life of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe."

Bobby Canavale, Adrien Brody, Xavier Samuel, and Julianne Nicholson also star in 'Blonde'.&nbsp;

'Blonde' has received mixed critical reviews. On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a score of 53 per cent. The critical consensus reads, "Blonde can be hard to watch as it teeters between commenting on exploitation and contributing to it, but Ana de Armas' luminous performance makes it difficult to look away."

Ana de Armas visited Marilyn Monroe's grave to ask for permission to portray her in 'Blonde'

Ana de Armas, who stepped into the shoes of&nbsp;Marilyn Monroe for the Netflix film 'Blonde', recently spoke to the press at the Venice International Film Festival and revealed how the&nbsp;enduring Hollywood icon's ghost made her presence felt on the sets during filming.&nbsp;

On Thursday, de Armas told&nbsp;reporters,&nbsp;"I truly believe that she was very close to us. She was with us." She added, "I think she was happy. She would also throw things off the wall sometimes and get mad if she didn't like something."

"Maybe this sounds very mystical, but it is true. We all felt it," said the Cuban-born actress.

De Armas also admitted that she knew little about the iconic actress of the 20th century when she took up the role. And, that's why she immersed herself in the character before the filming schedule.

"She was all I thought about, she was all I dreamt about, she was all I could talk about, she was with me and it was beautiful," the Golden Globe nominee said.

Director Andrew Dominik, who spent more than a decade trying to bring the book of the same name by Joyce Carol Oatesby to the screen, also spoke to the media. He said,&nbsp;"It definitely took on elements of being like a seance."

Speaking about the decision of casting de Armas despite her strong Spanish accent, Dominik said that he was convinced the actress could play the demanding role after seeing her 2015 film 'Knock Knock'.

"I knew it was her as soon as I saw her on TV. It is a little bit like when you fall in love at first sight, when the right person walks through the door you know it," Dominik said.
