Olga Merediz isn’t waiting an eternity to lock in her next project.
The 68-year-old Cuban actress and singer has joined the cast alongside John Early of A24’s Eternity.
The romantic comedy, in which people must decide who they want to spend eternity with, also stars Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, Callum Turner and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
David Freyne is directing the movie; Pat Cunnane wrote the script, which appeared on the 2022 Black List.
A24 is financing and distributing the rom-com, as well as producing with Star Thrower Entertainment and its founders Trevor White and Tim White. The film is currently in production.
Merediz is best known for originating the role of Abuela Claudia in the Broadway musical In the Heights. She was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance, and she reprised the role in Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation.
Merediz also voiced a role in Disney’s animated musical hit Encanto, and her television credits include Orange Is the New Black and Shades of Blue.
