Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel joins Fast & Furious 7
Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel has joined the ever-expanding cast of Fast & Furious 7.
Emmanuel, known for playing Daenerys Targaryen’s aide Missandei on Game of Thrones, has been cast in a role which is being kept under wraps by studio Universal.
However, Deadline reports that her character will be one of the good guys on the no-nonsense driving team led by Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto.
The British actress is the latest name to be added to the James Wan-directed sequel following Kurt Russell’s reported interest in a role.
Variety reports that Russell is apparently circling a part that had first been offered to Denzel Washington.
Meanwhile, Ong Bak star Tony Jaa has been cast in the seventh film, giving the actor his first role in an English-language film.
Jaa said: ‘There is a great mix of humour and action, something I really appreciate. There is no better film to involved in for a first US studio production.’
Fast & Furious 7 rolls out on July 11, 2014.
