Angelina Jolie Plays Maria Callas in First Trailer for Netflix's Maria

As a dedicated fan who has witnessed Angelina Jolie‘s extraordinary acting journey over the years, I am absolutely thrilled about her latest venture, “Maria.” The trailer alone is a testament to the raw emotion and high drama that Jolie will bring to the screen, and her seven-month training regimen for this role underscores her unwavering commitment.


25 years following her Oscar triumph for Girl, Interrupted, Angelina Jolie stands ready to compete for Best Actress accolades once more, this time in the highly anticipated movie titled Maria. The story revolves around Maria Callas, an American-Greek opera singer, and the later stages of her life following her famed career. The film is scheduled for a theater release on November 27, with a Netflix streaming debut slated for December 11, two weeks later. The anticipation for Jolie’s performance in Maria has been noticeable, as early screenings of the movie have indicated it to be a powerful cinematic achievement.

Netflix unveiled a trailer showcasing the intense drama and emotional moments of the movie that appears set to place Angelina Jolie in contention for an Oscar. The movie, “Maria,” received an 8-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, highlighting the powerful impact of Jolie’s gripping performance. In a recent conversation with People, Jolie shared her thoughts about the film, focusing on the demanding nature of the role and the difficulties she faced in integrating singing into the movie.

Initially, I was extremely anxious as I had been preparing for nearly seven months. On my debut performance, I recall feeling incredibly nervous. Fortunately, my sons were present and they stood guard at the entrance to prevent anyone else from entering, a gesture that helped calm my trembling hands.

In her role as Maria, Angelina Jolie is making a comeback to significant movie parts after an extended break from feature-length films. Since her disappointing stint in the 2021 Marvel film, Eternals, Jolie aims to regain her A-list status with Maria. Known for her work in biopics, the esteemed director Pablo Larraín (Spencer, Jackie) helms the upcoming music-focused Netflix film. Having worked with Natalie Portman and Kristen Stewart previously, Jolie is following in the footsteps of many renowned actresses who have collaborated with him.

The Star-Studded Race For Best Actress

Angelina Jolie’s likely bid for the Best Actress nomination will be up against a packed lineup of prominent Hollywood figures. Given Jolie’s exceptional acting skills, she is said to be in the running alongside several music industry heavyweights who are also starring in films vying for Oscars. Some of the names being tossed around as potential nominees include Selena Gomez for Emilia Perez, Ariana Grande for Wicked, and Lady Gaga for Joker: Folie à Deux. However, these are all speculative at this point, with these stars being frequently mentioned in the discussion. The film currently boasts a 77% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

If fan enthusiasm is a reliable predictor of who will win the Oscar, it seems that Angelina Jolie’s name is already engraved on it. One enthusiastic fan expressed their anticipation on X by tweeting, “WOW I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Honestly, I know I’m going to be utterly astonished by Angelina Jolie’s portrayal of Maria. The Oscar is hers for the taking.” Another fan echoed this level of excitement, posting, “The trailer for Maria is breathtakingly beautiful.
