Gina Rodriguez is one of those actresses that I’ve wanted to see succeed for awhile now. Ever since my mother and sister introduced me to her breakout role as the title character in the CW’s “Jane the Virgin,” I’ve been curious to see if she could ever make the jump from television to film. Now with the television series closing in on its final season, it seems like Rodriguez is slowly building up her filmography with Peter Berg’s “Deepwater Horizon,” Alex Garland’s “Annihilation,” and even some family-friendly fares such as Blue Sky Studios’ “Ferdinand” and Warner Bros. Animation’s “Smallfoot.” She’s even got a new starring role as Netflix’s version of the elusive Carmen Sandiego. She’s definitely becoming more known than just for “Jane the Virgin” though it has yet to answer one of the most difficult questions when discussing actresses/actors in her current position: can she carry a film that is pushing her as the main selling point?
