Jennifer Lopez's Remake of 1985 Oscar-Winner Starring Andor Star Revealed

Andor star Diego Luna has joined the cast of Kiss of the Spider Woman. The upcoming movie is a remake of the 1985 Argentinian movie of the same name, which was based on the 1976 Manuel Puig novel and followed two very different prisoners learning about one another while trapped in a prison cell. The new movie will be a big screen mounting of the 1992 stage musical adaptation starring Jennifer Lopez as Aurora, an imaginary personality that is taken on by imprisoned LGBTQ+ hairdresser Luis Molina while daydreaming during a long prison sentence.

Per Deadline, Diego Luna and Tonatiuh have joined the cast of the Kiss of the Spider Woman remake. Tonatiuh will be playing Luis (the character played in the original movie by William Hurt, who won a Best Actor Oscar for the role), who is serving an eight-year sentence in a Brazilian prison in 1981. Luna will be playing Valentin Arregui (the character played in the original movie by Raul Julia), his new Marxist cellmate with whom Luis slowly develops a bond.

Everywhere You've Seen The New Kiss Of The Spider Woman Stars

Diego Luna And Tonatiuh Both Bring A Wealth Of Experience

Although Tonatiuh is less of a known quantity than Luna, both stars have a wide array of experience that they are bringing to Kiss of the Spider Woman. Tonatiuh is likely best known for playing the supporting character Marcos in 11 episodes of the Los Angeles-set Starz drama Vida. However, they have also held roles in various projects on both the big and small screens, including Jane the Virgin, Stargate Origins, Chicago Med, Hidden Canyons, Angelyne, and The Loud House.

Luna has had a longer onscreen career, having broken out thanks to his starring role in the 2001 Alfonso Cuarón movie Y tu mamá también. In addition to playing the title role in the Andor cast, reprising the character he originated in the 2016 movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Luna's most prominent roles include Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo in Narcos: Mexico and Alex in Frida. He has some musical experience as well, having voiced a character in the 2014 animated movie The Book of Life.

Both stars are playing important roles in Kiss of the Spider Woman, grounding the story outside of the spectacular fantasy sequences starring Lopez as Aurora. Their chemistry will likely be one of the most important things in making the movie a success. While it remains to be seen if they succeed, they both have experience playing a wide range of characters that should allow them to access every layer of the story being told in the musical.

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller.

Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
