It seems Colin Firth's dapper special agent and his troubled nephew Taron Egerton will have a femme fatale to deal with in Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of The Secret Service, as according to Deadline former dancer turned actress Sofia Boutella has joined the cast as the lead female baddie. The site don't name her character and I haven't actually read Mark Millar's comic yet, but maybe one of you learned fans could fill us in on who she might be playing? Boutella has previously been a dancer on Madonna’s world tour and appeared in some of her videos, but thus far her only acting gigs have been on French films and TV.
