If you grew up in the ‘90s, the name Carmen Sandiego will be a familiar name to you. And since everyone seems to want to bank on nostalgia these days, it comes as no surprise that there will be a live-action movie based on the character. It’s just been announced that Netflix is tapping Jane the Virgin and Annihilation star Gina Rodriguez to play the titular role. Rodriguez is already slated to voice Carmen in a reboot of the popular animated series.
The actress is listed as a co-producer of the project under her I Can and I Will production company. The movie will be a standalone film about the red-hatted traveler and doesn’t have a writer or director attached to it just yet.
