Hollywood projects for Ruben Maria Soriquez
Manila Bulletin
|July 12 2025
Ruben Maria Soriquez, the talented Filipino-Italian film actor, director, and producer, has declared that the year 2025 holds great promise for him. He feels that his long-held dream of making a significant impact in Hollywood is finally within reach.
With a sense of excitement, Ruben shared an array of projects he has just wrapped up, each one a step closer to his cinematic aspirations.
"This year, I'm so happy because I got a good role in Donald Petrie’s 'The Last Resort', where all my scenes are with the Star Wars star, Daisy Ridley. For me, this is like a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to be in a major Hollywood film, at natupad na ang wish ko," Ruben said.
Although he became part of some Hollywood projects, such as appearing as one of the bad guys alongside lead actor Steven Seagal in General Commander, Ruben felt that this time he was getting a meatier role and better projects.
