According to Deadline, 20th Century Fox has cast Shioli Kutsuna in a key role in their upcoming Ryan Reynolds-led Marvel sequel Deadpool 2. No further details on her role were provided.
The 24-year-old Japanese actress joins a cast that recently added Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) as Cable, Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as Domino, and Jack Kesy (Baywatch) as the villain. The report also notes that Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Stefan Kapičić, and Brianna Hildebrand will all reprise their roles from the first installment.
David Leitch (John Wick) will be in the director's chair, utilizing a script from the duo of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Production is expected to begin June 26.
Kutsana made her Hollywood debut at the Cannes Film Festival in Oh Lucy!, opposite Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down), and is slated to appear in The Outsider, where she co-stars alongside Academy Award-winner Jared Leto (Suicide Squad), later this year.
