Talented Swedish actress
Alicia Vikander scored the lead role in Warner Bros.'
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which stars
Tom Cruise.
She'll star opposite Cruise and
Armie Hammer as a British agent who has a thing for cars, a huge role created specifically for a movie.
Guy Ritchie is on board to direct the big-screen adaptation of the 1960s spy show that followed the spy adventures of American agent Napoleon Solo and Soviet agent Illya Kuryakin; Cruise is set to play Solo, while Hammer was
recently announced as the actor who would play Kuryakin – two agents who fought against the evil organization known as T.H.R.U.S.H..
The studio previously had
Steven Soderbergh set to direct with
George Clooney starring, but things didn't work out and Ritchie stepped in.
There's still no word about when shooting begins, but rumors are that they are aiming to put this one in theaters some time in 2014.
Vikander, who recently finished shooting DreamWorks' Wikileaks movie
The Fifth Estate and appeared in Joe Wright's adaptation of
Anna Karenina, can soon be seen in Warner Bros. Pictures'
Seventh Son, hitting theaters October 18th, 2013.
