When asked about the fan interest in her playing the title character, de Armas said, 'I heard that, yeah,' as per the Hollywood Reporter.
She also expressed her enthusiasm for trying different roles and genres, and said, 'I think one of the things I love about acting and my career is to be able to do everything. You have to try all the things you can. You can't just always eat the same thing.'
