Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne are set to star in the upcoming drama film, Nasty, directed by Mary Bronstein and based on a 2024 Black List screenplay by Isabella Jarosz. The film follows a prodigious athlete battling for a spot on the Olympic gymnastics team, but her biggest opponent is her coach. With high-profile production power, including Margot Robbie's LuckyChap and Jenna Ortega producing, the project is sure to be a compelling watch. The key art, created by Bronstein, features a unique and intriguing design with olive-green construction paper, magazine-cutout letters, blood smears, and Band-Aids, hinting at the physically demanding role Ortega will play. This adds to the anticipation surrounding the film's release. Both Ortega and Byrne are currently working on other projects, with Ortega starring in Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun and J.J. Abrams' The Great Beyond, and Byrne recently completing work on Peacock's The Good Daughter adaptation. The question remains whether their chemistry on-screen will translate to the film's success, and fans will have to wait and see as more details about Nasty emerge.
