Elizabeth Debicki Joins The Cast Of Guy Ritchie's THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
The Great Gatsby star looks set to join the cast of director Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E alongside Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) and Armie Hammer (The Lone Ranger). Hit the jump for details on her role in the reboot!
Variety reports that Elizabeth Debicki (who impressed critics as 'Jordan Baker' in Baz Luhrmann's recent remake of The Great Gatsby) is set to join the cast of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. as, "some sort of femme fatale role." As vague as this description is, it's set to be a major role in the movie after the studio even considered even higher profile actresses like Rose Byrne and Charlize Theron before deciding that it was Debicki who was right for the film. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will be directed by Guy Ritchie and is set to start shooting in London and Italy this Fall. Henry Cavill is set to play 'Napoleon Solo', while Armie Hammer will take on the role of 'Illya Kuryakin'.
