Chase Infiniti’s Obsession with a Leonardo DiCaprio Film (Not Titanic)

A New Star Shines in "One Battle After Another"

Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest film, One Battle After Another, is more than just another entry in the actor’s impressive filmography. It has also marked the film debut of actress Chase Infiniti, who plays Willa Ferguson, the daughter of DiCaprio’s character, Bob Ferguson. The story revolves around a kidnapping by a military officer who had previously been in a relationship with Willa’s mother. What makes this project even more interesting is that before being cast in the movie, Infiniti had never seen Titanic, one of DiCaprio’s most iconic films.

Despite this, she has expressed her admiration for another of DiCaprio’s roles, which helped her feel connected to him during their first chemistry read. When asked by W Magazine if she had seen Titanic at the time, she admitted she hadn’t. However, she later watched it and still considers Catch Me If You Can her favorite film featuring DiCaprio.

A Film That Captivated a New Fan

Catch Me If You Can, released in 2002 and directed by Steven Spielberg, is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a former con man. DiCaprio played the young Abagnale, who famously impersonated a Pan Am pilot, a doctor, and a prosecutor while still a teenager. The film also features Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Nathalie Baye, Amy Adams, and James Brolin. It is available for streaming on Paramount+.

Although Catch Me If You Can isn’t exactly an obscure film, it often gets overshadowed by some of DiCaprio’s other works. However, it’s clear that the film left a lasting impression on Infiniti, enough for her to geek out over the chance to work with DiCaprio again. This shared appreciation adds a unique layer to their collaboration in One Battle After Another.

Critical Acclaim and Future Projects

One Battle After Another has received widespread critical acclaim and has earned eight Golden Globe nominations. Among them, Chase Infiniti is nominated for Best Actress – Musical or Comedy. As the 83rd Golden Globes approach, viewers will be watching closely to see how the film performs.

For now, fans can enjoy the movie on either Netflix or Paramount+. Meanwhile, both Infiniti and DiCaprio have exciting projects on the horizon. Infiniti is set to star in the coming-of-age drama The Julia Set, which begins filming later this year, as well as in the The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff The Testaments, which is scheduled to premiere in April 2026. DiCaprio, on the other hand, is rumored to be involved in Heat 2, though details about his role remain undisclosed.

As the film industry continues to evolve, stories like One Battle After Another remind us of the powerful connections that can form between actors and audiences.
