Aquaman | Hispanically Yours

Yara Martinez is joining the force…

The 39-year-old Cuban American actress will co-star opposite Stephen Dorffin Deputy, Fox’s police drama pilot from Bright helmer David Ayer, Aquaman writer Will Bealland eOne.

Written by Beall and directed by Ayer, Deputy centers on Deputy Bill Hollister (Dorff), a career lawman who’s very comfortable kicking down doors and utterly lost in a staff meeting. But when the L.A. County sheriff drops dead, Bill becomes acting sheriff, in charge of 10,000 sworn deputies policing a modern Wild West.

Martinez will play Hollister’s wife, Dr. Paula Reyes, a trauma surgeon. Strong-willed yet sensitive, she’s a good match for her husband.

Martinez was a series regular for the first two seasons of Amazon’s The Tick, playing Miss Lint.

Martinez continues to recur as Dr. Luisa Alver on the CW’s Jane the Virgin and also is recurring on CBS’ Bull.

Pitbull has an aquatic hit on his hands…

The 37-year-old Cuban American rap superstar has teamed up with singer Rhea to record a new, oceanic version of Toto‘s classic song “Africa.”

The rendition is called “Ocean to Ocean” and features Pitbull rapping the verses while Rhea comes in with the “Africa” chorus.

The track is from the film Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa as the title character.

“The ocean, the sea and any body of water, to me, is true freedom,” said Pitbull in a statement. “The ocean has always been the border from where my parents came from Cuba and the United States, which gives us freedom. That’s why I respect water. Bottom line: water gives us freedom.”

The soundtrack will also feature an original score by composer Rupert Gregson-Willams, best known for also composing the 2017 Wonder Woman score.
