Natalie Portman has openly discussed her motivations for wanting to be involved in the animated film 'Arc', directed by French filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu, which is nominated for an Oscar. The film is set to premiere on Thursday, the 26th, in Brazilian cinemas, and Portman expressed her admiration for the project's aesthetic and the urgency of the story it tells. Her involvement comes at a time when she is selective about her roles, considering both the artistic merits and the societal impact of the projects she embraces.

At the age of 44, Portman has the luxury of choosing roles that resonate with her values and artistic vision, given her extensive career that began at a young age. She has successfully navigated her career, balancing critically acclaimed roles such as her Oscar-winning performance in 'Black Swan' with more commercially successful ventures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Each choice reflects her strategic approach to her professional life, seeking both prestige and stability.

The release of 'Arc' presents an opportunity for Portman to showcase her dedication to meaningful storytelling through animation. With her star power and thoughtful selection of projects, she aims to draw attention to the pressing themes addressed within the film, further enriching the animated genre with significant narratives. Portman's participation not only heightens the film's profile but also signals her commitment to projects that provoke thought and discussion among audiences.
