EXCLUSIVE: The Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar-led feature film Iron Jane has wrapped production in Atlanta and Las Vegas, with additional cast revealed: Rafael Casal (The Lowdown, Blindspotting), Alexandra Metz (The Pitt, Will Trent), Jesse Garcia (The Odyssey, Flamin’ Hot), Nicholas Gonzalez (The Good Doctor, Resurrection Blvd), and Lenda Murray, eight-time Ms. Olympia Champion, who will also executive produce.
Additionally, Victoria Alonso of Mapuche Films has joined the filmmaking team, bringing experience from her years at Marvel Studios producing films from franchises including Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, and many more.
Written and directed by Lissette Feliciano, Iron Jane follows Janie John (González), who, after a childhood shaped by neglect and invisibility, is pulled into a world that finally sees her, where pain is power and bodies are built, not born. Female bodybuilding offers her something she’s never had: the chance to become untouchable. Coached by a former champion (Sklenar), she begins an extreme transformation, pushing her body past its limits through relentless training, enhancers, and dependence. As her physique sharpens, Janie rises fast, but her grip on reality fractures. Trapped in a system that rewards perfection and punishes weakness, Janie spirals toward a godlike ideal that’s slowly destroying her from within.
