Alice Carvalho is set to play the iconic soccer player Marta in a new film directed by Andrucha Waddington. The film will showcase Marta's inspiring journey from her arrival in Sweden, where she faced numerous challenges including harsh weather conditions, prejudice, and personal hardships. It aims to highlight her resilience and triumph as she becomes the first woman to win the FIFA Best Player award six times. While the project is still untitled and lacks an official release date, it has generated considerable anticipation.

In addition to her role as Marta, Alice Carvalho is also part of the cast for 'O Agente Secreto', which has been nominated for four awards at the upcoming Oscars 2026. The film is competing in categories including Best Film, Best International Film, Best Actor for Wagner Moura, and Best Casting, drawing parallels to the 2004 film 'Cidade de Deus', which also received four nominations. This recognition signifies a growing acknowledgment of Brazilian cinema on international platforms and adds excitement to Carvalho's rising career.

The portrayal of Marta is particularly significant as it reflects the increasing visibility and representation of women's sports in cinema, capturing the attention of audiences worldwide. As the film explores Marta's story, it may inspire future generations of female athletes, promoting themes of perseverance, equality, and the breaking of barriers. The anticipation surrounding both the film and the Oscars presents an opportune moment for conversations about women's achievements in traditionally male-dominated fields such as sports and film.
