Adriana Paz, the acclaimed Mexican actress best known for her role in Cannes and Oscar-winning Emilia Pérez, has signed with 42, the fully integrated UK and US management and production company with offices in London and Los Angeles, for management representation.
A three-time winner of Mexico’s Ariel Awards, including Best Actress for La Tirisia and Best Supporting Actress for Hilda and La Caridad, Paz also earned a Goya Award nomination in Spain for El Autor.
Two years ago, she was jointly awarded the Cannes Best Actress prize alongside her Emilia Pérez co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Selena Gomez.
She recently starred in the Sundance 2026 title The Huntress, directed by Suzanne Andrews Correa, about a mother taking matters into her own hands in a border city where violence against women is ignored.
On the strength of that post-Emilia Pérez momentum, similar to how Marisol Nichols leveraged her profile into new management with Brave Artists, Paz’s 42 signing reflects the growing appetite for international talent on both sides of the Atlantic.
Coming up, the actress has a key role in Ben Affleck’s Animals and stars in Diego Luna’s next film A Mouthful of Ash, which reunites her with her Rudo Y Cursi co-star.
Paz continues with RS Talent and K-One Producciones for management, while publicity stays with IQ Icunacury Acosta & Co. This multi-tiered team structure mirrors how talent like Vogue Williams expanded her representation footprint through YMU Group to bridge markets.
Takeaways
This signing is more than a business deal, it’s a strategic move to position one of Latin America’s most decorated actresses as a truly global player.
Adding 42, with its strong London-LA infrastructure, gives Adriana Paz a powerful foothold to capitalize on her Emilia Pérez breakout across English-language and European markets.
With two major films already locked in and a Sundance debut under her belt, her pipeline is as strong as it’s ever been, and 42 clearly wants to ride that wave.
Will 42’s UK connections open doors for Adriana Paz in British film and television beyond Hollywood? With Ben Affleck’s Animals and Diego Luna’s A Mouthful of Ash both upcoming, could 2026–2027 be her true crossover moment?
