Plot Twist: Hit Man Decides to Take a Hit Out on Himself
Diagnosed with a terminal illness, hit man Joe Flood decides to take a hit out on himself. However, a comedic twist unfolds as the hospital made a mistake, and Flood isn’t dying at all. Now, he must escape a steady stream of hit men who won’t be called off. Sofia Boutella plays the role of the protagonist’s love interest, adding to the mayhem.
Recent Projects: “Rebel Moon — Part 2: The Scargiver”
Boutella most recently starred in “Rebel Moon — Part 2: The Scargiver,” a sci-fi adventure that debuted on Netflix. In the sequel, Boutella’s character, Kora, assembles a group of warriors to fight against a tyrannical ruling force threatening a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy.
Embracing Rootlessness and Global Citizenship
Drawing on her immigrant background, Boutella has embraced her rootlessness, feeling like she belongs to the planet as a whole. Despite growing up in Algeria during the civil war and later moving to France, she cherishes the freedom to travel without limitations but sometimes misses the attachment people have to their country.
From Alien Warrior in “Star Trek Beyond” to Extraterrestrial Swordfighter in “Rebel Moon”
Boutella’s role as Kora in “Rebel Moon” is not her first time portraying a sword-wielding extraterrestrial. Known for her breakout performance as the fierce alien warrior Jaylah in “Star Trek Beyond,” Boutella’s diverse acting career showcases her talent in playing strong, otherworldly characters.
