Diego Luna’s “Mexico 86” Among Netflix’s Greenlit Slate of Mexican Projects

Posted on August 16, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Diego Luna is preparing to kick it on Netflix.

The streamer has greenlit six Mexican movies, including México 86, which stars the 45-year-old Mexican actor, director, and producer and tells the story behind Mexico landing the 1986 World Cup.

Other films on the streamer’s slate hail from Jorge Michel Grau, Rodrigo García, Ariel Winograd, Alonso Ruizpalacios and Maite Alberdi.

“Our commitment is real,” Carolina Leconte, Netflix’s VP of Content for Mexico, said in an interview with Deadline about its plans for local film and series.

She referenced its pledge earlier this year to spend $1B on Mexican content over the next four years, its investment in the iconic Churubusco Studios, and a Creative Equity fund it has set up to open doors for the next generation of local talent.

“Mexico is a diverse and rich country, full of unique and authentic stories still waiting to be told. Its talent – both behind and in front of the camera –is renowned globally. That’s why today, to celebrate Mexican Cinema Day, we are announcing a film slate that represents that diversity,” said Leconte.

Netflix has already released Rodrigo Prieto’s magical realist film Pedro Páramo, based on the 1955 Juan Rulfo novel.

Deadline can reveal it will again mine Mexican literature on Aura, an adaptation of influential Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes’ 1962 short novel. Alonso Ruizpalacios will adapt and direct and Stacy Perskie will produce.

México 86, meanwhile, will be directed by Gabriel Ripstein from a script he penned with Daniel Krauze. Luna will exec produce as well as star in the film, which chronicles Mexico’s audacious, against-all-odds — and successful — bid to host the 1986 World Cup. Gaumont USA will produce.

Netflix’s Mexican fare has been resonating globally, with the likes of Counterattack reaching over 71 million views and making it into the global all-time Top 10 for non-English-language, while Lucca’s World topped 28 million views worldwide in the first half of 2025. International success is clearly welcomed, but Leconte explained that the priority is always finding an audience at home.

“We love seeing Mexican stories being so well received, not just here but all over the world,” she said. “Still, our main focus is always on creating local content for local audiences. What matters most to us is telling stories that reflect who we are, that help us see ourselves and our reality on screen. If those stories go on to cross borders, that’s amazing – but our heart is always with what moves us as a country.”

Other titles in Netflix’s new Mexican movie slate include Contra el Huracán. It will tell the story of two half-brothers struggling to survive when an unexpected storm turns into a hurricane off the coast of Acapulco. Jorge Michel Grau directs.

Rodrigo García writes and directs The Follies, which follows six women dealing with social and family pressures and whose paths unexpectedly cross on a rainy day in Mexico City.

La Hora de Los Valientes, meanwhile, is a comedy starring Luis Gerardo Méndez and Memo Villegas in a story about an accident that brings a psychoanalyst and a police inspector together for an unexpected adventure. Ariel Winograd directs and K&S Films produces.

There is also a feature doc in the mix. With the working title of Un Hijo Propio , it follows a woman who longs to become a mother and fakes a pregnancy. As the lie spirals out of control, a medical scandal is unleashed that will shake the whole country. Maite Alberdi directs.

“Variety is key for us: From adaptations of literary classics like Aura by Carlos Fuentes, to high-production-value features like Contra el Huracán, and bold new comedies and dramas like La Hora de los Valientes and México 86,” Leconte said.

“Mexican nonfiction has also found a strong audience, and that’s why we’re betting on innovative documentaries like Un Hijo Propio by two-time Academy Award nominee Maite Alberdi. These are productions of a level never seen before in Mexico.”

It’s fitting that Netflix has doubled down on Mexico’s local film industry on Mexican Cinema Day, but Leconte highlighted its work across series as well as features.

“Our commitment to Mexico is stronger than ever,” she said. “This year, for example, we’re bringing films like The Follies, along with the Juan Gabriel docuseries, one of the most loved Mexican artists ever, The Dead Girls, which is the very first series by acclaimed director Luis Estrada, and new seasons of fan favorites like The Manny.”

Netflix has wrapped production on four brand new series in Mexico: Santita, Love 9 to 5 (Amor de Oficina), I’m Not Afraid (No Tengo Miedo) and Corruptors (Los Corruptores).

Diego Luna to Star in the Indie Thriller “Eleven Days”

Posted on July 16, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Diego Luna is ready to thrill audiences…

The 45-year-old Mexican actor, director and producer will star in the indie thriller Eleven Days opposite Taylor Kitsch from Concussion director Peter Landesman.

The film is set in the sweltering heat of a Texas summer in 1974, when ruthless prisoner Federico Carrasco (Luna) plays a deadly game against Jim Estelle (Kitsch), head of the Texas Department of Corrections, after taking over Huntsville Penitentiary and holding dozens hostage when his pre-planned escape goes awry. Lines between captor and captive, and justice and survival, begin to blur as the siege spirals for 11 endless, terrifying days.

The screenplay is written by Kevin Sheridan with revisions by Landesman, based on the book Eleven Days In Hell: The 1974 Carrasco Prison Siege at Huntsville, Texas by William T. Harper.

The film, which will shoot in Texas in September, is produced by Vincent Newman and Vance Howard.

Luna has already had himself quite a year following the second season of the Disney+ series Andor.

Luna also received Golden Globe and Gotham TV Award nominations for his role in Hulu’s first Spanish-language limited series La Máquina, where he plays the self-destructive manager of an aging boxer. He stars alongside longtime collaborator Gael García Bernal, and the pair produced the series through their company La Corriente del Golfo, which they founded in 2018 to tell global stories across film, TV, theater and audio.

Up next, Luna stars opposite Jennifer Lopez in Bill Condon’s adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, a Sundance Film Festival standout set for release by Lionsgate on October 10.

Luna was introduced to worldwide audiences with his starring role in Alfonso Cuarón’s 2001 award-winning road epic Y Tu Mama Tambien, alongside García Bernal.

Diego Luna Scores Two Goals Against Guatemala to Lead United States to Concacaf Gold Cup Final

Posted on July 2, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

It’s the golden hour for Diego Luna.

The 21-year-old Mexican American soccer player scored twice in the first 15 minutes helping the United States beat Guatemala 2-1 on Wednesday night to reach its first Concacaf Gold Cup final since 2021.

Luna put the U.S. ahead with a left-footed shot in the fourth minute, then scored with his right in the 15th for his third goal in two games.

Olger Escobar, an 18-year who was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, cut inside and slid a shot from inside the area between Matt Freese and the far post in the 80th for his second goal of the tournament. Freese parried José Morales’ shot toward the far post in the second minute of stoppage time.

The U.S. plays defending champion Mexico or Honduras for the title Sunday at Houston, the Americans’ last competitive match before their World Cup opener next June.

Mexico has won nine Gold Cups, the U.S. seven and Canada one.

The 16th-ranked Americans advanced to the Gold Cup final for the 13th time.

All five losses in finals have been to Mexico.

Jennifer Lopez Reveals European “Up All Night Tour” Dates

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Jennifer Lopez is ready to pull some all-nighters this summer…

The 55-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has announced plans to take her Up All Night Tour to Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia this summer, writing on social media, “Are you ready for UP ALL NIGHT #JLoLiveIn2025?! I can’t wait to see you this summer ✨🎤🎶 It’s almost time…”

Lopez posted the full routing for the Euro swing, her first road show in five years, which is slated to kick off on July 8 in Vigo, Spain, at Parque Tafisa, and includes six more stops in the country before moving on to Hungary on July 20, followed by shows in Italy, Turkey, Poland and Romania.

The tour will then move on to the Middle East with gigs in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, before hitting Kazakhstan, Armenia, Turkey and Uzbekistan, wrapping up on August 10 at the Central Stadium in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Last week, Lopez posted rehearsal footage with choreographer Derek Hough, following on the heels of a June 20 photo dump of photos from her intense prep for the tour.

Lopez has not mounted a proper tour since 2019’s It’s My Party global outing; she announced a North American tour in support of her 2024 This is Me… Now album only to cancel it less than a month before launch in order to take time off “to be with her children, family and close friends.”

Lopez is also gearing up for a return to the big screen on October 10 when she stars in director Bill Condon’s adaptation of the 1993 Broadway play Kiss of the Spider Woman.

JLo stars as Ingrid Luna in the film, in which two prisoners (Diego Luna and Tonatiuh) cook up song-and-dance routines based on the legendary actress’ roles while stuck in a prison cell during the waning days of Argentina’s Dirty War, which ravaged the nation from 1974 until 1983.

Here’s the list of Lopez’s summer 2025 European shows:

Diego Luna Delivers Powerful Immigration-Themed Monologue While Guest-Hosting ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live”

Posted on June 24, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Diego Luna is speaking out against U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

On his first night as a guest-host of Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday, June 23, the 45-year-old Mexican actor, director and producer delivered a powerful monologue on the importance of immigrants amid Trump’s “authoritarian policies.”

“I come from a galaxy far, far away, called México,” the Andor star said in his monologue.

In Kimmel’s absence, Luna will host the ABC late-night talk show for the whole week, saying it was one of his dreams to do so.

Luna touched on deportations in his monologue, noting, “English is not my first language. So, I hope you guys will help me if I get… What’s the word? Deported!”

The Mexican actor joked that Kimmel “was very smart to hand his show over to me just as Trump decided to go crazy and drop his bombs over the weekend. Thanks a lot Jimmy. Good luck!”

Luna got serious momentarily and said he wanted to address the issue affecting Los Angeles and the United States, “around immigration and the authoritarian policies of Donald Trump.”

“It is no small thing that a Mexican is hosting such an important show,” Luna said. “It’s a big deal and I really hope not to f**k it up.”

Luna recalled visiting the U.S. for the first time at the age of 20 following the success of Y Tú Mamá También and traveling to California for work, making L.A. a city he visited frequently.

“I spent great part of my earnings on laundry services and alcohol here. A lot of my brain cells died in this city,” he joked. “I met people that to this day are very close to my heart. Great things happened to me here. In fact, my son was born here. Yes, I have an Angeleno son. The only Mexican-American of the family, and I’ll always be grateful to Los Angeles for that and every Angeleno.”

Luna talked about how L.A. felt like home when he was away from home and took a jab at Elon Musk saying people liked to show off their Tesla’s before its founder “became a MAGA space Nazi.”

The actor said the community he found in L.A. that what holds all of us together are “our common roots. The people that lifted me up were mostly people that had left their countries to find a new life or the songs and daughters of immigrants that had come here in order to work and build a healthy enjoyable and dignified life away from their place of origin. A moment of that scale is not natural. Nobody leaves their land unless their survival depends on it.”

“All the people that I met share an unspoken gratitude to this country,” he continued. “A country that opened its doors to them. And the most beautiful thing of all is that all these immigrants brought their stories with them. They brought their loyalties, their love, their traditions, always with the openness to adopt new ones, to grow, and to complement each other in this vast cultural exchange.”

Luna noted that what makes L.A. great is people coming together “from different cultures and realities” agreeing “to give each other a chance and build something remarkable together,” adding, “This place is a powerful example of what’s possible of what can be achieved when we put empathy first.”

“I have never been able to fully understand how it is that someone like Donald Trump is able to acquire this level of power,” he said. “I always struggle to understand how his hate speech can take root in a country whose nature has always been a welcoming one. Today many people feel persecuted far too many people live in fear of taking their kids to school or going to places where they earn an honest living.”

He continued, “These people, they’re you’re neighbors, your friends, immigrants. This is very unfair. The multiple times that this country has had to rebuild itself, immigrants were always there to pick up the slack.”

Luna recalled the L.A. fires and how immigrant workers risked their lives to put the flames out.

“There are a lot of lies flying around about immigrants,” he added. “But I’m sure you have more than one story that can attest to the contrary. Today, they need to know that they’re not alone. These have been a dark few weeks. It is not acceptable, nor is it normal to separate families. Violence and terror are not OK. Immigrants need to know that their struggle is yours. Politicians have been dozing on this problem because it’s easier than acknowledging it, because this country benefits from the work of immigrants but refuses to recognize their importance. That is what needs to change. It’s about acknowledging the work of millions and how unfair it is that they have to live in hiding. The only solution is clear now, and it’s been clear for decades. Give them a path to legal certainty.”

Luna made a call for everyone to call their Congress representatives and support organizations that help immigrants in need.

“I hope what I said inspires you to get involved or look at this from a different point of view. If my comments have angered you, I just want you to know it was all written by Guillermo. Blame him,” Luna joke, ending his monologue on a light note.

Diego Luna is ready for his late night close-up…

The 45-year-old Mexican actor, director, and producer is among the A-listers Jimmy Kimmel has lined up to fill in for him during his summer break.

Anderson, Byer and Nanjiani have previously guest hosted the show, but it marks new territory for Cumming, Distefano, Feimster, Luna and pop star Jelly Roll.

Luna will kick off proceedings on Monday June 23 with guests including Patton Oswalt, David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Stone, Adria Arjona, Alan Tudyk, Ariela Barer, Heidi Klum and Dolores Huerta, as well as musical performances by NEZZA, Hermanos Gutiérrez, and Good Charlotte.

The show, which films at the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Hollywood Boulevard, is produced by 12:05 AM Productions, in association with Kimmelot and 20th Television. Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig serve as executive producers with Douglas DeLuca and Danny Ricker as co-executive producers.

It marks the fifth year that Kimmel, who baked his summer break into his ABC contract, has taken the summer off, starting in 2020 with no shows during the summer of 2023 as a result of the dual labor strikes in Hollywood.

Over that period the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Lawrence, Martin Short, Dana Carvey, Chelsea Handler, Al Franken, Nikki Glaser, Jeff Goldblum, RuPaul, Kerry Washington, Lamorne Morris, Sean Hayes and Hugh Jackman have all led the Hollywood-set show.

NBC Developing Drama Series Starring Jon Huertas Based on Candace Fox’s Novel “Fire with Fire”

Posted on March 13, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Jon Huertas is returning to acting…

NBC is developing a drama starring the 55-year-old Puerto Rican actor, who will executive produce alongside The Rookie and The Recruit creator Alexi Hawley.

Wendy Mericle is writing the untitled project based on the novel Fire with Fire by bestselling author Candice Fox.

Executive producer Sherry Marsh acquired the rights to the book while under her deal at eOne. It comes from Lionsgate Television, where Hawley is under an overall deal, and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Huertas and Mericle executive produce alongside Hawley, through Perfectman Pictures and Marsh for Marsh Entertainment. Perfectman’s Rachel Abarbanell will co-executive produce.

This is Huertas’ return to acting following a two-year break while focusing on directing, and to NBC where he starred on their smash hit series This Is Us in the series regular role of Miguel Rivas.

The official logline for the new project: When a pair of grieving parents hijack an LAPD forensics lab and threaten to start destroying evidence until the police find their missing daughter, an unlikely partnership between grizzled undercover cop Enrique Arroyo (Huertas) and rookie flame-out Lynette Lamb is forged as they race to solve this cold case before the situation explodes.

If the show goes to series, Huertas will be one of the growing number of Latino leads currently on TV alongside George Lopez in NBC’s Lopez vs. Lopez, Ramon Rodriguez on ABC’s Will Trent, Manuel Garcia Rulfo in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer, Eugenio Derbez in Apple’s Acapulco and Diego Luna in the Disney+ series Star Wars: Andor.

Huertas is best known for his roles in HBO’s Generation Kill, ABC’s Castle and the Emmy-winning series This Is Us. He is developing the new show with his longtime manager Marsh and bringing it to his longtime collaborator Hawley.

Season Two of Diego Luna’s “Andor” to Premiere on Disney+ in April 2025

Posted on November 10, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Diego Luna is returning to a galaxy far, far away next April…

Disney has revealed that Season 2 of the Disney+ Star Wars spin-off series Andor, starring the 44-year-old Mexican actor, director, and producer, will premiere on April 22, 2025 on the streaming platform.

The new season of Andor will premiere more than two years after Season 1 ended.

Andor stars Luna, reprising his role as the titular Rebel spy Cassian Andor after Rogue One (2016). Following his journey from thief to revolutionary during his formative years with the Rebel Alliance, Season 1 sees Andor take on difficult missions for the cause.

Ben Mendelsohn has joined the cast of Season 2, reprising his villainous Rogue One role as Orson Krennic. Luna has said in a teaser clip that the “stakes are greater” in the new season.

“This second part will follow Cassian over the period of four years as he grows into the hero we see make the ultimate sacrifice in Rogue One,” he explained.

Creator Tony Gilroy planned out the series as a two-season adventure with the second season leading up to the events in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where audiences were first introduced to Luna’s Andor.

Season 2 comes after production was halted on the new episodes last July amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.
