Eiza González hopes to play Evelyn Hugo in adaptation

Eiza González is excited about the possibility of playing Evelyn Hugo in Netflix's adaptation of the popular novel "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo." The actress, who is currently promoting her new film "Ash," expressed her enthusiasm in an interview. She said, “I’d love to. It’d be such an honor.” Eiza is a fan of the book and hopes to get the role, but she is unsure about the project's status. Eiza's co-star Natalie Portman also supports her casting. On set, Portman reportedly told Eiza, "You know I just can’t think of anyone else to do Evelyn Hugo." This encouragement thrilled Eiza, who acknowledged the difficulty of the role and the competition from other talented actresses. In addition to discussing Evelyn Hugo, Eiza shared insights about her movie "Ash." The film is a sci-fi thriller set on a new planet where her character wakes up with no memory, surrounded by chaos. Eiza described it as a psychological survival horror film. She feels proud of her performance and believes it helped her grow as an actress. Eiza hopes that any adaptation of Evelyn Hugo captures the essence of the book, similar to the success of "Daisy Jones & The Six." She is eager for audiences to enjoy "Ash" and looks forward to potential news about the Evelyn Hugo project.
