Lana Condor: A Rising Star’s Bold New Chapter
Lana Condor is dreaming big, and her latest venture proves she’s a force to be reckoned with. The beloved star of To All the Boys has expressed her fervent hope for a Pretty Lethal sequel, and she hasn’t stopped singing the praises of her experience playing a ballerina in the action-packed thriller. Just recently, Condor opened up about the beautiful merging of her lifelong passion for dance with her burgeoning acting career in an exclusive interview.
Reconnecting with Ballet Roots
Lana Condor never anticipated returning to the world of ballet after stepping away from formal training at the age of 18. However, when the opportunity to star in Pretty Lethal arose, it felt like fate. She explained how the role allowed her to beautifully combine two worlds she deeply loves. “I grew up dancing, but I quit when I was 18, when I started acting,” Condor revealed. “Then, Pretty Lethal came along, and it was like being able to merge two worlds.”
The actress fully embraced the physical demands of the role. Pretty Lethal showcased her ability to blend grace with intense physicality, a combination she hadn’t previously explored on screen. This required rigorous preparation and dedication, pushing her boundaries as a performer.
A Powerful Female Ensemble
What truly made the Pretty Lethal experience special was the incredible camaraderie with her female co-stars. Condor credits the cast and crew with providing unwavering support during a challenging time in her life. She spoke with genuine affection for her fellow performers, describing them as “phenomenal” both on and off set.
“My favorite sets, and my favorite people on set, are always if I get to work with a big group of girls,” she shared warmly. “The Pretty Lethal girls are just so amazing. They’re all so talented; they’re all just so unbelievably loving. I got to work with them during a really tough period of my life, and they really held me through so much.”
The Thrilling Premise of ‘Pretty Lethal’
The film centers around a unique and captivating narrative: five ballerinas must utilize their dance training to survive a deadly situation. It masterfully blends the elegance of ballet with adrenaline-pumping combat sequences, offering audiences a fresh and exciting experience within the thriller genre.

“Our dream is to get a sequel if it does well, so we’ll see, because I would love to just be with them again.”

Expanding Her Range and Returning to the Netflix Universe
Condor has skillfully transitioned from the romantic comedies like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before to darker, more action-oriented roles. This demonstrates her versatility as an actress and her willingness to take on challenging projects. Beyond Pretty Lethal, Condor has also returned to the Netflix universe with XO, Kitty Season 3, continuing the storyline of the Covey sisters. This strategic career move solidifies her position as a multifaceted talent capable of excelling in any genre.
Hopes for a Sequel and a Bright Future
Lana Condor and the entire cast are eagerly hoping that Pretty Lethal’s positive reception will pave the way for a second installment. The undeniable chemistry between the ensemble members has resonated with audiences, as evidenced by the enthusiastic response on social media. If a sequel is greenlit, the cast’s genuine bond promises even more compelling storytelling.
The question remains: will Prime Video give the go-ahead for another chapter in this unique ballet-meets-action universe? Condor remains optimistic, believing that the fans will champion the cause. With her renewed passion for dance and the strong foundation established in the first film, a sequel has the potential to elevate the franchise to new heights.
