Adria Arjonais on the cusp of breaking out. I say this because while you might have seen her work in the second season ofTrue Detective, NBC’sEmerald City,The Belko Experimentor Netflix’sTriple Frontier(just to name a few), with her excellent work in Amazon’sGood Omens(she plays Anathema Device) about to hit, and big upcoming projects likeMichael Bay’s6 UndergroundwithRyan Reynoldsand directorDaniel Espinosa’sMorbiusoppositeJared Leto, she’s getting a lot closer to becoming a household name.
Last night in London, I covered the world premiere ofGood Omensand managed to get a few minutes with Adria Arjona on the green carpet. Since I spoke to her earlier in the day forGood Omens(full interview will run on Collider soon), I decided to use my limited time to ask about getting to work with Michael Bay on6 Undergroundand Jared Leto inMorbius. While she was extremely guarded about saying too much about either project, I figured you’d still like to see it.
If you haven’t yet heard of6 Underground, it’s Michael Bay’s first feature at Netflix and it’s written byZombielandandDeadpoolscreenwritersRhett ReeseandPaul Wernick. While exact details about the story are under wraps,when we first reportedon the film we heard “the plot revolves around six billionaires who fake their own death and form an elite team to take down bad guys.” Skydance’sDavid Ellison,Dana Goldberg, andDon Grangerproduced it alongside Bay. The film is set for release this year.
As far asMorbius, theSpider-Manspin-off focuses on the vampiric villain from the pages of Marvel Comics and starsJared Letoas Dr. Michael Morbius. Written byBurk SharplessandMatt Sazama,Morbiusis produced byAvi AradandMatt TolmachwithLucas Foster, and with Sony’sPalak Pateloverseeing for the studio. Exact details about the plot are under wraps but it’s a safe bet to assume it won’t stray far from the comics which sees Michael Morbius trying to cure himself from a rare blood disease when he accidentally infects himself with a form of vampirism instead.
