She had already filmed this movie when she opened her mouth far too wide, for someone who should stick to advocating the Mexican/indigenous American plight, and not others'. So, it waits to be seen if her obtuse comments have any affect on the future of her career.

“Ready or Not” is in my top five favorite movies, so I had a lot of hype riding on this movie. It met my expectations, didn’t quite clear the bar of “Ready or Not”for me, but still delivered on what I wanted- more ballet-themed horror. This was the first film that I’ve seen Melissa Barrera in, and she acted very well!

I still hate that Paramount & Spyglass fired her for no reasons. They’re so gonna regret that! I DO hope that Melissa Barrera gets cast as the new Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s new DCU films.

speaking out and protesting the genocide of the Palestinian people was very brave and honorable. She is Mexican and there is no reason for her to be "antisemitic" people in fact 40,000 jews live in Mexico and A female jew might be the president of Mexico soon. As a Mexican I support her stance on the inhumanity occuring in Israel.
