KINGSMAN Actress Sofia Boutella Lands A Lead Role In STAR TREK 3
After making quite an impression as blade-legged assassin Gazelle in Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service, Algerian actress Sofia Boutella will next turn her attention to the Justin Lin-directed Star Trek threequel. More past the jump...
Fresh from slicing and dicing her way through Kingsman: The Secret Service, the lovely Sofia Boutella will now join Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew in the still untitled Star Trek 3, which is being penned by Simon Pegg and directed by Justin Lin. Deadline reported the news, but have no idea what type of character Boutella will be playing; only confirming that it'll be a lead role. Thor: The Dark World's Idris Elba was recently announced as landing the role of the main villain, so perhaps she'll be an ally of his? We'll update if we manage to find out anything else about it.
Boutella can also be seen in Monsters: Dark Continent, and has two other movies (Tiger Raid and Jet Trash) currently in post-production.
