Hitman movie female lead revealed

Betrayal and Shame actress Hannah Ware will play the female lead in Fox's upcoming Hitman movie Agent 47, Hollywood news site Variety reports. Plot details are being kept under wraps, so we don't know which character Ware will portray or what role she'll have in the movie.

Ware will star in Agent 47 alongside Homeland's Rupert Friend (Agent 47 himself) and Star Trek's Zachary Quinto, who will play an unspecified role. Friend replaced former lead Paul Walker, who died in a car crash in November.

Filming on Agent 47 is expected to begin in March. Commercials director Aleksander Bach is directing the movie on a script from A Good Day to Die Hard writer Skip Woods and Michael Finch.

There are multiple new Hitman games in development, including a new AAA project from series creator IO Interactive, as well as mobile games from Square Enix Montreal.
