Summary

  • Blink Twice is set to be one of the most exciting movies of 2024.
  • Adria Arjona's involvement in the film adds to the star-studded ensemble cast after Hit Man.
  • Arjona's performance in Blink Twice could mark her third high-profile project in 2024.

Channing Tatum’s thriller from director Zoë Kravitz, Hit Man on Netflix. Kravitz is making her directorial debut with Blink Twice, formerly titled P*ssy Island, from a screenplay she co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum. Tatum stars as a tech mogul alongside I Wanna Dance with Somebody’s Naomi Ackie as a cocktail waitress he invites to his private island. Upon her arrival on the mysterious island, strange things start to happen.

Blink Twice was already one of the most exciting movies of 2024. The premise is intriguing and the cast is stacked. In addition to Tatum and Ackie, the film’s ensemble cast will feature such stars as Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, Geena Davis, Simon Rex, Haley Joel Osment, and Geena Davis. If Kravitz is half as great a filmmaker as she is an actor, then Blink Twice will surely be a delight. And the success of Hit Man on Netflix has made the arrival of Blink Twice even more tantalizing.

Adria Arjona is one of the breakout stars of 2024

The impressively star-studded ensemble cast of Blink Twice also features Adria Arjona, who’s coming off a terrific performance in the Netflix crime caper Hit Man. Glen Powell stars in Hit Man as an undercover New Orleans police contractor who poses as a killer-for-hire in his elaborate attempts to save a woman in danger. Arjona played this love interest, Madison Figueroa Masters, opposite Powell’s Gary Johnson, and delivered a fantastic performance. After her turn in Hit Man, Arjona’s involvement in Blink Twice makes Kravitz’s movie even more exciting.

Arjona is having a great year; her acclaimed turn in the Hit Man cast is just one of her projects coming out this year. She also has her role in Blink Twice and she’ll be reprising her role as Bix Caleen in the second season of the widely praised Star Wars series Andor. If Blink Twice lives up to its potential, then it’ll be Arjona’s third high-profile project in 2024. After this year, her agent’s phone will be ringing off the hook.

Arjona’s big break has been a long time coming. She played a recurring role as Emily in True Detective season 2 and played main roles as Dorothy Gale in Emerald City and Anathema Device in Good Omens. She played Martine Bancroft in the notorious Sony/Marvel bomb Morbius and Sofia Herrera opposite Andy Garcia in the 2022 remake of Father of the Bride. Blink Twice should be a huge step up from those middling movies.
