Ana de Armas plays troubled Hollywood icon, Marilyn Monroe, in Blonde, Netflix’s upcoming biopic based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel. But, before the film hits Netflix on September 28 (becoming the streaming service’s first NC-17 project), de Armas had her private screening to show off the final cut to the film’s crew and artisans, as well as her close pals, including former Knives Out and The Gray Man co-star Chris Evans.

“I remember looking at it and saying, ‘OK, that’s Marilyn… where’s your shot? That’s you? Holy crap! You’ll win an Oscar for this! “Chris Evans exclaimed.
Blonde, directed by Andrew Dominik, stars Adrien Brody and Bobby Cannavale and is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ 2000 novel of the same name. On September 28, the historical psychological drama film will be released.
