The 38-year-old Spanish beauty, who is currently shooting The Counselor with Ridley, is slated to portray Patrizia Reggiani in Jordan Scott’s Gucci, reported Daily Express.

Reggiani was jailed in 1998 for hiring a hitman to kill her husband four years after the couple officially divorced. She became known as the Black Widow throughout her trial. Her daughters urged lawmakers in Milan, Italy, to overturn their mother’s conviction on the grounds a brain tumour had altered her personality.
