Actually, Mr. Mark Rosen the president Authentic Brand Group (ABG), but also the one behind him Marilyn Monroe Estate said: “Marilyn Monroe is a unique Hollywood and pop culture icon that transcends generations and history. Any actor who takes on this role knows that he has a lot of work to do. Judging by the trailer, Ana seems like a terrific choice as she captures Marilyn’s magnificence, humanity and vulnerability.

Regarding her casting, de Armas said, “I only auditioned for the role of Marilyn once, and Andrew said, ‘You’re the one,’ but I had to audition everyone else. Manufacturers. Those who had money. There were always people I had to convince. But I knew that I could do it. Marilyn’s game was revolutionary. The Cuban plays Marilyn Monroe. I so wanted it.”
