Navarrette attended the festival, which runs until Thursday in Newport Beach, as one of Variety’s 10 Actors to Watch, who were celebrated during the festival’s Honor Brunch. While speaking with Variety’s Marc Malkin at the festival’s carpet, Navarrette said attending the gala was “amazing.” “I mean, you’re just overwhelmed and kind of drowning in everybody that you have looked up to, possibly ever, and it’s just so lovely meeting people and the reception that ‘Obsession’ has been getting… I’m just so honored to go and be with the members of the Academy and just get an inside scoop on what that magnificent world is like.” Jessica Lange and Pamela Anderson were two of the actresses Navarrette was excited to see Saturday night. And what I love is when I don’t know anything.
So I’m really excited to be working with the writers.” Also on the horizon is the MCU’s forthcoming “X-Men” film, in which she’ll play Rogue. Navarrette told Malkin she hasn’t corresponded directly with Anna Paquin, who originated the role, but feels “the correspondence started when I was younger, when I really fell in love with the ‘X-Men’ movies in the first place.” On the topic of stunt training for the superhero film, Navarrette said it’s a good excuse to get herself in the gym. I’m the laziest person, and I am very excited to get up and move my body.”
