GAMBIT: Rebecca Ferguson Out Of The Running For 'Bella Donna Boudreaux' Role

It seems the female lead role in Channing Tatum's Gambit movie will be contested between Lea Seydoux and Abbey Lee, as Mission: Impossible star Rebecca Ferguson has signed on for The Girl On The Train.



After her impressive turn as a British Intelligence Agent in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, many fans hoped to see Rebecca Ferguson land the role of Bel Boudreaux alongside Channing Tatum's Remy Lebeau in the Gambit movie, but alas it wasn't to be. Deadline reports that the Swedish actress has taken herself out of the running to play Anna in the Tate Taylor-directed adaptation of Paula Hawkins' novel, The Girl On The Train, with Emily Blunt.



This means that - unless another contender emerges - the role of the daughter of the leader of the New Orleans Assassins' Guild will be played by either Lea Seydoux (Spectre), or Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road). The site makes no mention of which one might be the frontrunner.



Rupert Wyatt will direct the X-Men spin-off, which is on schedule to start filming in October, and is set to open in theaters on October 7, 2016.
