Black Panther

King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader.

Using powers reserved to Wakandan kings, T'Challa assumes the Black Panther mantle to join with ex-girlfriend Nakia, the queen-mother, his princess-kid sister, members of the Dora Milaje (the Wakandan 'special forces') and an American secret agent, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.

JO: The person who inspired me to become an actress was Dakota Fanning and I remember I saw her in Man on Fire and I thought she was the coolest thing ever, especially since she was [the same] age in that movie as I was at the time.

Ortega added during “Hot Ones” in March 2023, “It’s got all the classic teenage tropes. It’s got incredible gore. It’s inspired so many horror films to come since then. It’s just the proper way to do a slasher. If you ever needed some sort of guiding light, ‘Prom Night’ is a great one.”

Mars Attacks!

'We come in peace' is not what those green men from Mars mean when they invade our planet, armed with irresistible weapons and a cruel sense of humor. This star studded cast must play victim to the alien’s fun and games in this comedy homage to science fiction films of the '50s and '60s.

“When I was younger, I wanted to be one of the aliens from ‘Mars Attacks!’ so bad. But not the Lisa Marie one, the one with the exposed brain,” Ortega said. “Jack Nicholson, there’s Glenn Close in there. It’s an incredible movie. I feel like people don’t give it the credit it deserves.”
