Ana de Armas initially declined Rian Johnson's 'Knives Out'

Ana de Armas, one of next-gen stars of Hollywood, says she h initially rejected Rian Johnson's upcoming whodunit "Knives Out" as character description she received from makers mentioned her part as a "pretty Latina caretaker". "Ble Runner 2049" star told Hollywood Reporter that character sketch put her off and she felt it might t do justice to Latin community.

Initially rejected her character in Knives Out

"Getting an email that described character like that without any more information or a script attached because it was high-profile and secret just really didn't speak to me," Armas said. 

"So, because of character description, my imagination immediately went to a portrayal that was t necessarily very positive or exciting in relation to Latin culture," she ded. Things, however, changed after she finally re script.

"So, when I finally re script, I realised that description didn't fit at all because Marta is so much more than that," Armas ded.

31-year-old actor, who is set feature opposite her "Knives Out" co-star Daniel Craig in next James Bond instalment, said she is proud of her Cuban herit and isn't afraid to represent it on-screen, given character treatment is right. 

"I'm very proud to be Cuban and a Latina and always will be. It's just that we have more to offer than only playing maids or prostitutes. I don't want to play in that game because I want to represent my culture in a more positive way. 

"We have a lot more to offer. Maybe at beginning of my career, I was getting more auditions or opportunities for those roles, but it hasn't been like that lately."
