After “Obsession” became an unprecedented box office success and earned over $400 million from a small budget, all eyes are on breakout star Inde Navarrette.
“I’ve been taking a lot of meetings since ‘Obsession’ came out,” she explained on Variety’s “Up Next” podcast. “That’s been really nice because you get to meet people and ask questions.”
One of those meetings, as one might expect for one of Hollywood’s rising stars, was with Marvel Studios. Navarrette revealed she recently met with “Thunderbolts” director Jake Schreier, who is now developing Marvel’s upcoming “X-Men” film. She said she grew up watching Fox’s original 2000s “X-Men” movies and praised Schreier for bringing back the character-driven storytelling that she loved about that era of Marvel.
“I thought what Jake brought to ‘Thunderbolts’ was what I used to love about Marvel,” Navarrette said. “It was character-driven, and the whole time I just couldn’t stop gushing about how much I appreciated what he did with Marvel.”While the “Obsession” star stopped short of revealing more about her conversation with Schreier, she tempered expectations by explaining that many of her recent meetings have simply been opportunities to meet filmmakers she admires, whether or not they lead to a contract being signed.
