ANNIHILATION Actress Gina Rodriguez To Star As CARMEN SANDIEGO In A New Netflix Live-Action Feature
Gina Rodriguez (Annihilation) was previously attached to voice Carmen Sandiego in a Netflix animated series, but now it's being reported that she'll actually play the character in a live-action adventure.
Last year, news broke that Gina Rodriguez (Annihilation, Jane the Virgin) had signed on to provide the voice of Carmen Sandiego in a Netflix animated series, but Deadline now reports that the actress will play the character in live action.
The streaming giant will produce a full-length feature based on the exploits of the globe-trotting criminal mastermind, who was first introduced in a "mystery exploration" show back in 1985 and has since been the focus, of video games, books, and a DC Comics series.
Rodriguez will also produce the film through her I Can and I Will productions alongside Kevin Misher and Caroline Fraser. No writer or director is attached to the project yet, but it's expected to debut on Netflix at some point next year.
