The actress joins John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Scott Eastwood (Suicide Squad). The film will be directed by Steven S. DeKnight, who’s best known for his work on Spartacus and Marvel’s Daredevil. Production is set to begin this November in Australia, but a portion of the film will also be shot in China.
