“It’s such an amazing universe to be a part of,” Arjona told People Chica in March 2022 about her foray into the Marvel Universe. “I think that there [are] infinite possibilities, and that’s really exciting. Also, to be in a movie that introduces a new Marvel character is so exciting. I really feel like there could never be enough superheroes, so I’m excited for people to meet Morbius.”

Along with Sweet Girl and Morbius, Arjona appeared as Glen Powell’s love interest, Maddy Masters, in Hit Man, which is set to hit Netflix in June 2024. The film, directed by Richard Linklater, follows an undercover New Orleans police officer (Powell) who poses as a hitman to save a woman in need (Arjona).

“I always aspired to be like the actresses in Richard Linklater movies.

Creating Madison and collaborating with these two gentlemen has been a real gift. Love you both ❤️.”

“It was hard for me not to laugh because you have Melissa McCarthy in front of you making you crack up every five minutes,” Arjona told People in March 2018 about her role in Life of the Party. “She is like a mother to all of us, a role model; she is funny, confident. She is constantly implementing morals and teaching us how to love ourselves. I’m so grateful to have her in Hollywood.”

Arjona couldn’t stop raving about her work in Father of the Bride — and how it was different from the original films.

“I was so nervous that this was True Detective and that I needed to do a good job that I would just dig into every scene,” she explained to Esquire in July 2015. “I was playing with Taylor Kitsch so it was fairly easy since I was getting such great work thrown back at me. It was pretty easy to just react and not think about lines at all.”
