After Jenna Ortega starred in one of the biggest 2024 moviesshe can’t stop, won’t stop looking for work with some outstanding talent. Rumor has it that she will next work with Oscar winner Natalie Portman in a film called Gallery ownerand wow, that premise made me do a double take.

Wednesday for Netflix. Natalie Portman was in one of best movies of 2023 With May December, and headed Apple TV+ Lady of the Lake earlier this year.
