Leslie Grace Takes a Dive into Survival Thriller ‘Propel’ as Lead Actress in Rival Whale Swallow Movie

After captivating audiences with her powerful vocals and stellar acting in “In the Heights,” Leslie Grace is ready to take on a whole new challenge. The talented singer-turned-actress has been cast as the lead in the upcoming survival thriller “Propel,” where she will be swallowed by a giant sperm whale and fight for her life.

Many know Leslie Grace for her chart-topping hits and Latin Grammy nominations, but she has been making waves in the acting world as well. Her debut film role in “In the Heights” earned her critical acclaim, and she was set to make her mark as Batgirl in the DC universe before the project was scrapped. But now, she is ready to make a splash in a completely different genre.

Directed by Felipe Vargas, known for his work on “Rosario,” “Propel” is being described as “Gravity” meets “127 Hours” underwater. The film follows the story of a diver who is left for dead after a boating accident and must fight for survival inside the belly of a giant sperm whale. It’s a thrilling and intense premise that is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. And it’s the OTHER ‘person gets swalled by whale’ story as ‘Whalefall’ is also in current production.

For Leslie Grace, this role marks a major shift in her career. From singing and acting in musicals to taking on an intense survival thriller, she is showcasing her versatility as an artist. Fans are excited to see her take on this new challenge and are eager to see how she will bring the character to life.
