Indian actress Soundarya Sharma joins ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ cast

Another name is being added to the roster of actors joining the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel. This time, the new actress might not be a household name globally but being part of this high profile superhero film might change that. Indian actress Soundarya Sharma joins the cast of Wonder Woman 1984 in an unidentified role. Sharma is expected to come in and start filming at the end of October. Sharma told TheHindu.com a bit about how she feels about being cast and it suggests she plays a substantial role in the movie.  She said, “This I can say is a ‘dream coming true’ situation. It’s exhilarating to be a part of such a larger than life character film where you get to play your dream role. I have always dreamt of playing such a character and idolised it.”

Sharma will be joining returning actors Gal Gadot and Chris Pine for this Patty Jenkins’ directed film. Another newcomer to the franchise is comedian Kristen Wiig, who will be playing the villain Cheetah. Other new cast members include Narcos’ Pedro Pascal and Ravi Patel.
