Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

The star of Wednesday, Jenna Ortega has turned Hollywood into her playground for experimentation with different genres. After her remarkable performance in the fantasy series by Netflix, she jumped into the realm of horror through the Scream franchise and The Beetlejuice 2. While she abandoned the seventh installment of the former to focus on Wednesday’s second season, another project that has filled up her calendar is a mysterious flick alongside The Weeknd that was announced in early 2023. 
Already thrilled at the thought of The Weeknd and Jenna Ortega working together, fans have gotten a promising update. 
<h2>Fans can expect this from Jenna Ortega and The Weeknd’s flick </h2>
Earlier today, X (previously Twitter) blew up with reports regarding the release of the still-unnamed flick starring Jenna Ortega, Barry Keoghan and Abel Tesfaye, popularly known as The Weeknd. Many sources suggested that the much-awaited movie will come out sometime this year. Considering that the buzz around the project had fizzled out since it was initially announced in January last year, fans are obviously enthralled to hear this news. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Trey Edward Shults’ upcoming film, co-written by and starring The Weeknd, will be released this year.

While it still remains unnamed, it is known that the director for it will be Trey Edward Shults. Meanwhile, the 21-year-old Scream star serves a multi-faceted role in it. She has taken up the role of executive producer as well as a headlining actor in it. Even the Canadian singer, will be lending his writing prowess to the movie.

As The Weeknd enters a new era in his entertainment career, some are not quite pleased with this development. 
<h2>The Weeknd received critique over this decision</h2>
When it was first announced that <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-hollywood-news-the-weeknd-garners-major-outrage-for-his-role-as-writer-in-jenna-ortega-and-barry-keoghans-movie-after-the-idol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesfaye would be writing as well as acting in the aforementioned movie, fans were not as impressed</a> as he probably expected them to be. Some argued that he was not cut for cinema and should stick to his musical endeavors instead. Then, a couple of months later, Elon Musk also trolled both Ortega and The Weeknd through an X post. Albeit in a different context, the timing made some wonder if he was casting doubt on the flick too. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<a href="https://t.co/GwkJsk0Qm4">pic.twitter.com/GwkJsk0Qm4</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Judging by the update regarding its release, these doubts and protests by his fans did not stop Tesfaye from moving ahead with the flick’s production. With The Weeknd’s fresh skills, plus Shults and Ortega’s combined experience steering the movie, it may just prove these doubts wrong too. With so much left to the audience&#8217;s imagination still, its results remain to be seen.
