Jena Ortega Joins Glen Powell in J.J. Abrams Movie
The secret project is set up at Warner Bros.
Jenna Ortega is in talks to join Glen Powell in the new J.J. Abrams movie set up at Warner Bros.
Little is known about the project that was written by Abrams and will be produced by his Bad Robot, which has an overall deal with the studio.
Both Ortega and Powell were recently flagged as being a part of the “New A-List” after surveying studio execs and producers about the most in-demand stars. Both stars are seen by the industry as box office draws, able to bring younger moviegoers into theaters.
Powell is currently in theaters with Twisters, which has grossed more than $270 million at the global box office. He is set to star in the Running Man remake from Edgar Wright.
Ortega, who stars in Beetlejuice sequel, will soon be seen in the second season of Tim Burton’s Netflix series Wednesday, which the streamer says is its most-watched English language television series of all time.
