Jenna Ortega is apparently in talks for a new role! The Insneider’s Jeff Sneider reported Ortega is in talks to star in Taika Waititi’s new film, Klara and the Sun.

Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the story follows Klara, a robot who is purchased by a family to help their fatally ill child, Josie. No word on which character Ortega is set to play, but I can only assume it is Klara.

Here’s hoping this news is confirmed soon. I would love to see her take on this role. Plus, if done well, I can see her performance earning awards buzz after the film’s released.
