Lashana Lynch has been cast opposite Kingsley Ben-Adir in the upcoming untitled Bob Marley biopic.

The upcoming untitled Bob Marley biopic has gained a new cast member in Bond girl Lashana Lynch. Lynch, who just starred in No Time to Die, will play Marley's beloved wife, Rita Marley. The search for the best actor to play Rita was extensive, with the casting team looking for the perfect fit who is also of Jamaican descent.

The currently untitled film depicting the life and times of legendary reggae singer Bob Marley is to be directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. Green is perhaps best known for directing last year's acclaimed sports biopic King Richard, as well as helming HBO's limited series We Own This City, which aired earlier this year. The film's screenplay is penned by well-known screenwriter Terence Winter, as well as Frank E. Flowers and Zach Baylin.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Lynch is currently experiencing a healthy dose of success in her career as of late. Before her star-making performance in Daniel Craig's final Bond film, the talented performer joined the MCU by appearing in 2019's Captain Marvel as Maria Rambeau. She also appeared in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness as an alternate version of Captain Marvel.
