Ana de Armas lands dark thriller role after Tom Cruise split buzz
The project will be directed by J Blakeson and is based on the original film by Magnus von Horn
Ana de Armas is set to headline a new psychological thriller, marking her first major film project following reported speculation surrounding her relationship with Tom Cruise.
The 37-year-old actress will star in Sweat, an English-language remake of the 2020 Polish film of the same name.
In the upcoming thriller, de Armas takes on the role of Emma Kent, an ambitious fitness influencer whose carefully curated online life begins to unravel.
The story follows Kent as she navigates the pressures of digital fame and obsession, with her world spiraling after a troubling encounter with her idol, a powerful social media figure named Kat Highbrook.
The project will be directed by J Blakeson and is based on the original film by Magnus von Horn, bringing a darker, psychological lens to the influencer culture narrative.
The casting marks de Armas’ first major role since reports linked her romantically to Cruise, her co-star in the upcoming sci-fi thriller Deeper.
While the pair were frequently spotted together and sparked dating rumors, neither publicly confirmed a relationship.
Subsequent reports suggested they may have simply been close collaborators.
Deeper, directed by Doug Liman, remains in development, with no official release date announced.
