"American Hustle" actor Said Taghmaoui has joined the growing cast ensemble of Patty Jenkins' upcoming DC Comics film "Wonder Woman."
Sources told The Wrap that French-American actor Taghmaoui is set to star in Jenkins' "Wonder Woman." The publication also posted a shot of the actor, together with "Star Trek" star Chris Pine, who is set to play Wonder Woman's love interest Steve Trevor. Taghmaoui's role in Jenkins' "Wonder Woman" is currently unknown and is yet to be revealed.
The photo is reportedly set in the World War I era and it can also be noticed that a piece of paper behind Taghmaoui says "Nightingale." According to Slash Film, that was the working title for the film to keep things from people who were unfamiliar with the project from "snooping around" on set.
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman has also been reported to be part of the "Wonder Woman" cast, playing the role of a high ranking Amazon and previous reports have revealed that she could play Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother and queen of the Amazons.
Taghmaoui is known for his roles in David Russell's crime drama "American Hustle" and action comedy "Three Kings," Pete Travis' action crime "Vantage Point," and Mathieu Kassovitz crime drama "La Haine." The actor is set to be part of Jane Clark's comedy crime "Slate & Kelly," Rob Gordon Bralver's action film "For All Eyes Always," and Brad Furman's crime drama "Infiltrator."
As per The Wrap, Taghmaoui had also recently tweeted the symbol of Peace for Paris in the wake of terrorist attacks in his homeland.
Prior to her solo "Wonder Woman" film, Gal Gadot is set to debut her character as Wonder Woman in Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." The actress is set to share the screen with Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, and Amy Adams, among others, in Snyder's film.
Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on Mar. 25, 2016. Meanwhile, Jenkin's "Wonder Woman" hits theaters on June 23, 2017.
