The actress expressed excitement over the Hollywood project through her Instagram page, also yesterday.
“[The] secret is out! Yes, I’ll be doing a World War II film soon,” she said. “I’ll keep you posted about the future developments.”
“Angel Warrior” will start production in mid-2022 and is slated for a worldwide release in late 2022, the report stated.
It will be presented in Los Angeles, California, in October next year as part of the Filipino-American History Month, which pays tribute to Filipino migrants in the United States. Dana Cruz/RA
