EXCLUSIVE: French-Italian actress and model Deva Cassel has signed with Artist International Group for management.
Cassel, the daughter of Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, most recently starred as Angelica Sedara in Netflix’s limited series *The Leopard*, a modern reimagining of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s classic Sicilian saga.
Later this year, she will star in Alejandro Monteverde’s historical film *Zero A.D.*, which recently wrapped production in Morocco. Following that, Cassel is set to appear in the French-language adaptation of the classic story *The Phantom of the Opera*. She will play Anastasia, an 18-year-old ballet dancer newly arrived in Paris whose encounter with the mysterious Phantom ignites an impossible love story. The cast also includes Romain Duris, Julien De Saint-Jean, and ballet artists Guillaume Diop and Dorothée Gilbert.
Principal photography began in August at Paris’ historic Palais Garnier opera house, with a theatrical release scheduled for September 23, 2026, in France.
Cassel made her acting debut in the independent film *The Beautiful Summer*, directed by Laura Luchetti.
In addition to her screen work, she has collaborated with renowned fashion brands including Dior and Cartier. At just 16, she became the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s Shine fragrance campaign and has since graced the covers of *Vogue*, *Elle*, and *Harper’s Bazaar*.
Deva Cassel is represented by Chris Prapha at Artist International Group and continues to be represented by Do MGMT in Italy and Agence Adequat in France.
