Later this year, Jenna Ortega plays an AI hired to help a dying child in Taika Waititi (better known as Rita Ora's husband)’s Klara and the Sun, based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. It’ll be her first time going for a more nuanced comedic performance. “Taika balances childlike curiosity with humor,” she says. “People don’t always want to be depressed, especially not in a film about the future.” 

In a few weeks, Ortega will depart for London for a mysterious J. J. Abrams movie starring Glen Powell and Samuel L. Jackson. “It all feels very top secret, but it is an original J.J. script with some fantasy elements,” says Ortega, who was able to give input on her character, including her choice of tattoos. “I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a story like this so early on.” Ortega will need to rifle through Stinky’s passports. “She’ll be a London girl,” says Ortega. “She likes it. There’s a bunch of whippets there.”

Ortega will be seen in May alongside Abel “the Weeknd” Tesfaye in the experimental metathriller Hurry Up Tomorrow, a film companion to the Weeknd’s album of the same name about the unraveling of the musician’s pop persona. She wanted the role because of one harrowing scene in which her character breaks down wailing in a tunnel. Tesfaye and director Trey Edward Shults cited Isabelle Adjani’s grueling performance in the 1981 psychological-horror film Possession. Ortega’s interpretation was “ugly and honest,” according to Tesfaye. “Jenna channeled something so raw, she truly scared the **** out of me,” he says, via email. Ortega adores a reference. “Any time I join a job, I love to pretend it’s necessary to watch five films,” she says, laughing. “Maybe I am poor with time management.”
