Eiza González is ready for Battle…
The 26-year-old Mexican actress/singer has been cast in Fox’s Alita: Battle Angel, the Robert Rodriguez-directed film based on Yukito Kishiro’s popular manga graphic novels.
Set in a 26th-century dystopian future, the film follows the story of an amnesiac cyborg who, after being rescued from a scrap heap by a doctor, becomes a bounty hunter tracking down criminals.
James Cameron will co-write the script with Laeta Kalogridis.
Cameron will also produce alongside Jon Landau as the film is set for release in July 2018.
This marks the second collaboration between Rodriguez and González, who co-stars in his El Rey Network series From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.
She can next be seen in Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, which Sony will release March 2017.
