It comes after Elsa was spotted filming Benjamin Millepied’s new film, Carmen, at Sydney’s Maroubra Beach.

Carmen, which is based on the opera of the same name, tells the story of a soldier who falls in love with an irresistible woman by the name of Carmen.

Irish actor Paul Mescal plays the male lead, while Melissa Barrera takes on the titular role of Carmen.

Elsa’s role hasn’t been confirmed yet, but she took part in a lively scene in which a male co-star chased her across the beach.

While the original was set in Spain, this adaptation will follow a Mexican woman’s search for freedom in Los Angeles.

The production, which was originally slated to take place in Mexico and LA, relocated to Australia due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
