Inde Navarrette Talks Obsession, Oscar Buzz and Her Next Big Role

Obsession was made for well under $1 million, and it has grossed half a billion dollars, according to Deadline. The film was written and directed by Curry Barker, and its lead, Inde Navarrette, plays the character Nikki.

Navarrette's full name is Danielle Fabiola "Inde" Navarrette. In a new video interview with Deadline, part of its series The Actor's Side, she talked about the film and what comes next. The interview was published on 11 November 2026.

Her performance has already drawn talk of a Best Actress Oscar nomination. Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg have both offered praise connected to the film, Deadline reports. The Academy Awards nominations are still months away, so any nomination remains a matter of speculation for now.

Navarrette is also set to play Rogue in the next X-Men film, according to Deadline. The role would take her into one of the best-known superhero franchises in cinemas. Her name has also come up in connection with Saturday Night Live, where she has hosted.

Her screen history includes two television series. She played Estella Dela Cruz in 13 Reasons Why and Sarah Cortez in Superman & Lois. Both roles put her in front of wide audiences well before Obsession.

Navarrette also has a role in The Waffle House Index, and she is an executive producer on it. An executive producer is a credit given to people who help secure money and make key business decisions on a project, rather than handling the day-to-day filming. Her move into that role adds a second job on that project to her acting work.
