I just discovered Rina through John Wick 4 and have been getting into her music since. She's super talented. I'd also love to see her reprise the Akira role in a spin-off or sequel movie or series. She really did a great job in the movie.

I went with a big group for JW4 and most of us said the same! There's already a spin-off movie coming so they could definitely do a series, too
How funny I randomly discovered her on Spotify the other day her music is 🔥

I need Donnie Yen (Caine) vs Rina Sawayama (Akira) so bad 🔥
Knew her from her music first. I can’t recall how I was introduced to her but absolutely love her music. Very much my style of songs. Haven’t seen John Wick 4 yet but I’m so excited to see her in it and also am so happy that so many more people are discovering her.
She is talented and gorgeous!! Love her.
Have a blessed day everyone. God bless you all.
Rina is gorgeous ❤
Something about her I just love 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"slid into the DMs" in this case just meant messaged her privately. Simu was likely just trying to build his connection of celebrities which is something people in the industry do. Like imagine if Simu needed someone like her in a show he's working on or if she needed someone like Simu on something she was working on. Be good to have that connection.

simu wrote papers about how gay people are pedophiles so im not sure why rina, a queer woman, would vibe with him… not cute.
