Sony's upcoming action movie Bullet Train has added to its already very impressive cast, as Deadline reports that Zazie Beetz is now along for the ride.
Beetz will re-team with Deadpool 2 director David Leitch for the high-concept thriller, which also has Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry and Andrew Koji on board.
Based on Japanese novel Maria Beetle by best-selling author Kotaro Isaka, Bullet Train follows "five assassins on a fast-moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops in between. They discover their missions are linked to one another. The question becomes, who will make it off the train alive and what awaits them at the terminal station?"
It's not known if Beetz will be playing one of the assassins.
The movie will be produced by Kelly McCormick through 87North, along with Antoine Fuqua. Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada of CTB Inc will exec produce. The script was penned by Zak Olkewicz (The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Fear Street 2).
Beetz shot to fame following her breakout role on the FX series Atlanta, before landing the role of Domino in Deadpool 2. She also played Joaquin Phoenix's love interest (in his mind, anyway) in Warner Bros.' Joker. Her new film, Nine Days, just had its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
