As revealed in a recent Deadline report, the now NJPW star and Paul Ben-Victor have joined the cast of the incoming action thriller, with the likes of Ruby Rose, Lucas Till, Tyrese Gibson and Don Johnson all appearing in the new film, too.

The Tom DeNucci-directed feature was recently wrapped and centres around "a group of righteous assassins called The Collective". And the story will see the unit take aim at "a highly sophisticated human trafficking ring backed by a network of untouchable billionaires."

The group are ultimately forced to put this vital mission into the hands of rookie assassin Sam Alexander (Till), with the inexperienced lad being aided by Hugo (Gibson) and Liam (Johnson), two CIA operatives turned rogue vigilantes. The "cunning general manager of this evil, clandestine organization" the heroes will be colliding with is Daisy (Rose), with Sam having to prove himself to The Collective during the "life-and-death" mission.

As for Moné, she'll be playing the part of "blade wielding company pit-bull and chief of security" Nikita, a figure who watches the back of Ben-Victor's Miro Lindell, an "auctioneer to a seedy underground cabal of billionaires bidding on human lives."

The former WWE star has also notably appeared in Disney+'s The Mandalorian series, and most recently made many a headline for her shocking arrival on the NJPW scene at Wrestle Kingdom 17. Moné is now set to face off with IWGP Women's Champion Kairi on the back of that appearance, with the two battling over the title on February 18 at Battle in the Valley.
