Ana De Armas has not let her star status plummet since starring in her first English-speaking role in 2015’s Knock Knock.

The 35-year-old actress has since gone on to star alongside Hollywood’s most notable names, including Ryan Gosling, Daniel Craig, Keanu Reeves, and Chris Evans, and also earned her first Academy Award nomination in less than a decade in her career.

Let’s take a look back at the Cuban actress roles that helped her establish her prominence in the film industry.

Knock Knock (2015)

The remake of the 1977 cult film Death Game was the first English film that Ana starred in, and it’s also the one that helped her launch her Hollywood career.

Directed by Eli Roth, Ana starred alongside the likes of Keanu Reeves and Lorenza Izzo in the crime thriller.

The Blonde actress received substantial praise from critics for her performance in the film.

War Dogs (2016)

The Latin actress starred in this Todd Phillips directorial after insisting her manager avoid roles that are specific to her ethnicity.

In the film, Ana worked alongside Miles Teller and Jonah Hill to bring the true story of Efraim Diveroli and David Packous to life.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

Ana de Armas stepped into the world of sci-fi and action films with the sequel to the 1982 classic Blade Runner.

In the film, she plays Ryan Gosling’s holographic A.I. girlfriend who believes he was born, not created.

Knives Out (2019)

Ana de Armas stood her ground against Hollywood royalty such as Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis in the suspenseful film.

The star-studded film grossed over $300 million at the box office, and the Latin actress received well-earned acclaim for it.

No Time to Die (2021)

By 2021, Ana de Armas had made her mark in the industry, significant enough to join one of the biggest film franchises in history: the Bond saga.

The actress joined forces with Craig once again for the film.

Blonde (2022)

Ana de Armas received a fair share of acclaim and critique for her portrayal of music icon Marilyn Monroe in the 2022 biopic.

However, rest assured, she received her first-ever Oscar nomination for her vulnerable performance.
