However, she soon teams up with him.

Congratulations, Mary!

Gemini Man News and Rumors

Mary Elizabeth Winstead A Front Runner for Will Smith’s ‘Gemini Man’

on January 12, 2018January 16, 2018 by Jessica 1 Comment

I am definitely loving all the newest projects Mary has coming up. With All About Nina completed and The Parts You Lose nearly wrapped, Mary is now vying for the female lead in Ang Lee’s Gemini Man opposite Will Smith.

According to THR, the action film follows Smith in a dual role. One is that of Henry, an aging assassin who wants to get out of the business but finds himself in a battle with the ultimate opponent: his clone, who is 25 years younger and at the peak of his abilities.

Tatiana Maslany is also being considered for the lead and both actresses have read and are testing for the role of Danny, an operative who works for the same company as Henry and is tasked to surveil him. However, she soon teams up with him. Elizabeth Debicki (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) is also in the running for the female lead.

A decision for the part will be made soon as the movie is eying a February start with an international shoot that would include locations ranging from Savannah, Georgia to Budapest, Hungary.

Clive Owen is also going to be in the film, playing the head of the cloning program, one of the villains of the movie.

This sounds like a really great movie and I do hope Mary gets the part! We’ll know within two weeks’ time!
