Cast and crew from Kiss of the Spider Woman recently sat down with The Academy to discuss the new adaptation of the Broadway musical. Participants included writer/director Bill Condon, stars Jennifer Lopez and Tonatiuh, cinematographer Tobias Schliessler, production designer Scott Chambliss, and casting director Tiffany Little Canfield, with Jenelle Riley serving as the moderator. During the conversation, Jennifer Lopez recalled her excitement upon reading the script and receiving the offer to play the three characters of Ingrid Luna, Aurora, and The Spider Woman. Kiss of the Spider Woman premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and will arrive in theaters on October 10, 2025. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favorite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez).
