In the original 1961 film, Maria was played by Natalie Wood and Tony by Richard Beymer, with Rita Moreno and George Chakiris starring as Anita and Bernardo. As a Colombian-American, I am humbled by the opportunity to play a role that means so much to the Hispanic community.” “ West Side Story was the first musical I encountered with a Latina lead character. “I am so thrilled to be playing the iconic role of Maria alongside this amazing cast,” said Zegler. Zegler saw the call on Twitter and submitted a video of herself singing ‘Tonight’ and ‘Me Siento Hermosa’ (‘I Feel Pretty’). The casting call for the remake, which asked for solely Latinx actors, received 30,000 submissions. I am in awe of the sheer force of the talent of these young performers, and I believe they’ll bring a new and electrifying energy to a magnificent musical that’s more relevant than ever.” “I’m so happy that we’ve assembled a cast that reflects the astonishing depth of talent in America’s multifaceted Hispanic community. “When we began this process a year ago, we announced that we would cast the roles of Maria, Anita, Bernardo, Chino and the Sharks with Latina and Latino actors,” Spielberg said. Rachel Zegler (Maria) and Ansel Elgort (Tony) star in West Side Story 2021 remake.
