This marks Soberano’s Hollywood debut. She played the role of Taffy, Kathryn Newton’s character, Lisa’s stepsister.
Prior to this, Newton also commended her in a recent interview with Red Carpet Report on Mingle Media TV. The American actress described Soberano as “professional” and “sweetest girl.”
“I love Liza. She is just a gift to the world, this girl. She’s the sweetest girl I’ve ever met in my whole life, and there’s nobody that could play this role except her,” Newton reiterated.
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel “Frankenstein,” “Lisa Frankenstein” follows the story of a misunderstood teenage girl, Lisa, and her high school crush, who happens to be a reanimated corpse, portrayed by Cole Sprouse. It is set to premiere in Philippine cinemas on February 7, 2024.
