According to Collider, Blade Runner 2049 star Ana de Armas is in early talks to play Marilyn Monroe in writer/director Andrew Dominik’s long-in-development biopic Blonde for Netflix.
The outlet reports that nothing has been set in stone, but notes that de Armas is Dominik’s top choice to play the Hollywood icon.
As noted above, Dominik wrote the script and will produce Blonde alongside frequent collaborator Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner’s Plan B banner.
Yet, despite her immense success, a series of bad relationships and tragedy ultimately led to drug addiction and death.
