Jenna Ortega is stepping into a bold new spotlight, starring in The Weeknd’s latest music video, a visually arresting teaser that also serves as a taste of their upcoming cinematic collaboration. The Wednesday star’s appearance marks the beginning of what promises to be a creatively charged partnership between two of entertainment’s most talked-about talents.
Fresh off the global success of Wednesday, Ortega brings her signature intensity and on-screen magnetism to The Weeknd’s newest visual release, a music video tied to his recent album. Though details of the track remain under wraps, the video offers glimpses of a dark, surreal narrative that hints at the themes explored in the film they’re working on together.
The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, has never shied away from ambitious visual storytelling, and his latest project is no exception. Known for merging cinematic elements with his music, the multi-platinum artist has now taken that fusion a step further with a full-length feature film inspired by the emotional arc of his latest album. Jenna Ortega will take centre stage alongside him, in a role that is said to delve deep into themes of fame, obsession, and vulnerability.
The pair’s artistic synergy has already generated buzz across fan communities and film circles alike. While the video’s release showcases Ortega's brooding, enigmatic presence, complete with moody lighting, cryptic imagery, and flashes of dramatic tension, it also sets the tone for what audiences can expect from the forthcoming film.
Ortega, who has quickly established herself as one of Hollywood’s most in-demand young stars, continues to make daring choices in her career. From horror to gothic comedy to high-profile music visuals, she’s proving that genre is no limitation. Teaming up with The Weeknd, a boundary-pushing artist known for blending pop, R&B, and cinematic ambition, feels like a natural next step.
The project marks The Weeknd’s second foray into screen storytelling following his controversial HBO series The Idol, but this time, with Ortega on board and a film format in play, it could prove to be a turning point in his evolving artistic identity.
With the music video now online and a feature film in development, fans of both Ortega and The Weeknd have plenty to look forward to. If this haunting visual is anything to go by, their collaborative universe will be stylish, provocative, and impossible to ignore.
