Dua Lipa aims to become a part of Almodovar's ensemble cast after featuring in the upcoming films Argylle (set for release in 2024) and Barbie, which is the top-grossing movie of 2023.

A 28-year-old singer from the United Kingdom expressed her desire to act in a movie directed by Pedro Almodovar, an award-winning filmmaker who has directed critically acclaimed films like I'm So Excited! and Parallel Mothers.

Pedro, who is 74 years old, has a habit of regularly featuring women in his movies, and in Spain, these women are now fondly referred to as the 'Almodovar girls'.

The Spanish people really enjoy watching movies featuring Penelope Cruz, a famous actress from Hollywood. They have worked together on seven different films starting from 1997.

In an interview with Spanish news site El Espanol, Dua expressed her admiration for filmmaker Pedro Almodovar. She shared her desire to collaborate with him and star in one of his empowering films that showcase women unapologetically being themselves.

Dua Lipa, at 28 years old, is looking to become a "Almodovar girl" after demonstrating her acting chops in the upcoming movie Argylle, slated for 2024. The pop star also starred in the top-grossing film of 2023, Barbie, which likely fueled her desire for more acting roles.

The English vocalist, aged 28, expressed her desire to appear in a movie directed by Pedro Almodovar, who has won the Academy Award. Almodovar is responsible for notable films such as I'm So Excited! and Parallel Mothers.

In Almodovar's creations, female leads are constantly present and given utmost importance. They are portrayed as strong individuals who are true to themselves.

When Pedro talks about women, he showcases his deep affection for them through the intricate details of their narratives. It's a blend of humor, pathos, and intense emotions. What I appreciate the most is his ability to add multiple dimensions to female characters.

The movie that brought Pedro to the forefront was Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, a comedy thriller that came out in 1998. This flick was so well-received that it earned a nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.

The most recent endeavor he pursued was creating a brief motion picture called Strange Way of Life, featuring the talented actors Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke. This marks the second instance in which Pedro showcases his acting abilities in an English-language film.

Pedro is going to start working on his first English-language movie, The Room Next Door, which will be a full-length film, and it will feature Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore. This will happen sometime over the next few months.

According to Pedro, the movie focuses on a mother who has many flaws and her daughter who holds a grudge against her. They live separately because of a significant misunderstanding between them.

Sony Pictures Classics will distribute The Room Next Door, but no information about the date of its release has been disclosed yet.

Almost all of Pedro's movies have been distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, including Parallel Mothers released in 2021, that bestowed an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress upon Penélope Cruz.

in the movie, but it was still a memorable moment for Dua as she shared the screen with a big Hollywood star. Margot Robbie played the role of Barbie and Dua played a supporting role as a Barbie mermaid. Although it was a brief appearance in the film, it was a great opportunity for Dua to showcase her acting skills and gain valuable experience in the industry. Overall, it was a very exciting and special moment for her to be a part of the Barbie movie.

Dua had a significant part in the spy flick Argylle as LaGrange, a character in the action comedy. Unfortunately, the movie was a commercial flop.
