Ana de Armas is making headlines for her newly released film Ghosted these days.
In her initial year, she starred in the popular Spanish drama El Internado aka The Boarding School, for six seasons from 2007 to 2010.
While her fans supposed her character Carolina Leal Solís would make it to the end was but the character was assassinated in the middle, leaving her fans wondering why she left the show.
Recently on WIRED, alongside her Ghosted co-star Chris Evans, both of them answered the most searched question.
One of the questions for Armas was, ‘Why did Ana de Armas leave El Internado.’ While answering the question, the actress finally revealed the real reason why she left the show.
“I started this show when I was 19 and I was playing a school student for three years.” the actress explained her role in the show.
Then, she revealed it was her own decision to bid goodbye to the show, “I just felt like, oh, it’s time to move on. I’m not really doing much more here. I’ve done everything I had to do, so it’s time to go. And I asked them to kill me and they did.”
Previously, in a 2011 interview with Havana Times, she had also disclosed why she left the show.
She had planned to continue her role as Carolina in El Internado until the end of the series. However, after being on the show for several years, she began to feel restless and wanted to try other things.

“I felt a little restless and wanted to try other things…to do something different. At that time I especially wanted to study English and stop working for a little while…to devote some time to myself,” she said.
She decided to leave the show and shared her decision with the directors and scriptwriter. Armas had to reflect on her decision to leave, as finding work as an artist can be complicated, but she wasn’t afraid to take the risk.
She followed her intuition and went to New York to study English after leaving the show.
Ana de Armas’ journey in ‘El Internado’
At the age of 18, Armas left Cuba and started living with her maternal grandparents in Spain to pursue her career. Soon after, she secured a significant role in El Internado, which was uncertain to be successful at the time.
With Havana Times, she also revealed how she got the role in the series. Armas had just arrived in Spain and was feeling homesick when she was informed about a casting director named Luis San Narcissus who wanted to see her for a role in a new series.
She went to meet him and was thrilled to learn that the part of Carolina was hers after just a few minutes of talking. She had no idea at the time how this opportunity would impact her life, but she was grateful to Narcissus for giving her the chance.
El Internado was a huge success and was one of the most-watched series in Spain at that time, and Armas is grateful that she was a part of the series.
She told Havana Times, “I met lots of people, and some are friends who I’ll have for the rest of my life. Of course, professionally it [El Internado] was what gave me the opportunity to make my work known and for people to call me for other productions.”
Ane De Armas landed bigger roles after ‘El Internado’
Since leaving El Internado, Armas has made a name for herself in Hollywood. She has starred in several successful films and TV shows. She has played various roles in different projects after her success in El Internado.
She appeared in supporting roles in blockbuster movies such as War Dogs, where she played Iz, and Blade Runner 2049, where she played Joi. However, her breakthrough role was in the 2019 popular murder mystery movie Knives Out, where she played the lead role and received multiple award nominations.
After Knives Out, de Armas has mostly been involved in action movies. She had a small but significant role in the latest James Bond movie, No Time to Die. She also stars in the Netflix action thriller, The Gray Man, and has played the lead role in Blonde.
She also appeared in the movie No Time To Die in 2021, and her recent movie Ghosted is also gaining good responses from the audience.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Star in Robert Eggers’ Next Film ‘Werwulf’
WERWULF is currently in pre-production, with more casting and plot details expected to be revealed soon.
After haunting audiences with Nosferatu, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is teaming up once again with director Robert Eggers. This time for a werewolf horror titled Werwulf. The film is already building buzz ahead of its Christmas Day 2026 release, and it may get even hotter with Nosferatu lead Lily-Rose Depp in talks to join the cast.
Eggers will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón, his collaborator on The Northman. With Focus Features backing the project, and Working Title producing, Werwulf looks to carry the eerie, mythic tone Eggers is known for — only now under the full moon.
Their last outing, Nosferatu, was a breakout hit, raking in $181 million worldwide and marking a massive return for stylized gothic horror. Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic, while Depp portrayed Ellen, the object of Count Orlok’s obsession.
With werewolves now in his sights, Eggers’ next nightmare seems poised to bite — and Taylor-Johnson is clearly ready to howl.
Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.
This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.
Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.
With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.
