In 2014 Peña starred in Diego Luna's English language directing debut "Cesar Chavez" as the civil rights leader who co-founded the United Farm Workers Union. In 2015, he was seen in two films to cross the $500 million mark; the heist film "Ant Man," starring opposite Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, and "The Martian," opposite Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain.
