The Sharks and Jets have been cast, here’s who is playing them
The first image from Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of West Side Story has been released, showing Baby Driver star Ansel Elgort and newcomer Rachel Zegler in the lead roles as Tony and Maria, respectively.
Rita Moreno – who won an Oscar for her performance as Anita in the 1961 movie adaptation of West Side Story – is set to return to play a new character, Valentina, that has been created especially for her.
Valentina owns the corner store where Tony works (originally this was a role held by the character Doc). Moreno is also serving as executive producer on the project.
