The trio joins previously announced cast members Jack Reynor and Laia Costa.
Production is currently underway in Ireland and Spain on the Atomic Monster and Blumhouse film for New Line Cinema. Cronin is also producing under his Doppelgängers banner. Plot details remain under wraps — but it is about a Mummy, and I’m sure a tomb is involved.
A native of Mexico City, Falcón starred in Blumhouse’s supernatural thriller Imaginary, directed by Jeff Wadlow as well as The Forever Purge. She played Trader Sam opposite Emily Blunt & Dwayne Johnson in Disney’s Jungle Cruise. She starred in A Million Miles Away alongside Michael Peña and starred in the film adaptation of the global bestseller book Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and starring Eva Longoria & Eugenio Derbez.
