Actress Jessica Alba will reportedly play a negative role opposite Hailee Steinfeld and Samuel L Jackson in the Kyle Newman-directed movie "Barely Lethal".
The 32-year-old mother of two is said to have agreed to take part in the film from RKO Pictures as a villain. She is the latest addition to the cast ensemble after Steinfeld and Jackson, reported Ace Showbiz.
Written by John D'Arco, the film will feature "Ender's Game" actress Steinfeld as a 16-year-old international assassin yearning for a normal adolescence.
Alba will portray Victoria Knox, who pursues Megan. Jackson has been on board to play Megan's mentor who trains her in the programme.
Production of the film is reportedly set to start from October 17.
