She was fantastic as Toast, one of the Five Wives in Mad Max: Fury Road, but now Zoë Kravitz is ready to take centre stage as a gun-slinging hero. She’s signed up for the lead in Western drama **Black Belle.
The film, which is set just after the US Civil War, will find her as a lone bounty hunter who specialises in revenge killing, tracking down and shooting people she’s hired to find. But then a client brings her information about her mother’s murderer, and as she digs into the case, she realises, to her horror, that she knows exactly who is to blame.
Free Ride director Shana Betz is on to call the shots, working from a script by Tasha Huo. The cameras should be cranking, and the bullets flying, this September.
Kravitz, who also appears in the Divergent films, will next be seen in comedy drama Dope, which is out here on September 4. She’ll be back on Divergent duty for Allegiant: Part 1, which is scheduled to arrive next March.
