EXCLUSIVE: Rita Ora (Fifty Shades franchise), Nora Arnezeder (The Offer), Saïd Taghmaoui (John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum) and Joey Bicicchi (Black Bird) have signed on for roles in the action pic Tin Soldier, which is in production in Greece.

They join an ensemble that also includes Jamie Foxx, Scott Eastwood, Robert De Niro, John Leguizamo and Shamier Anderson.

The film from director Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) tells the story of The Bokushi (Foxx), who preaches to hundreds of veterans who have been drawn to the promise of protection and purpose under him. Surrounded by his devout, military-trained followers, he has built an impenetrable fortress and amassed an arsenal of weapons. After several failed infiltration attempts, the government — in the form of military operative Emmanuel Ashburn (De Niro) — recruits Nash Cavanaugh (Eastwood), an ex-Special Forces asset, who was once a disciple of The Bokushi. Nash agrees to use his vulnerable past and insider knowledge of the enigmatic leader to finally get revenge on the man who took everything from him, including the love of his life.

Ora is an internationally recognized singer-songwriter and actress best known for her studio albums Ora and Phoenix. She appeared in all three Fifty Shades films, as well as such big-screen titles as Pokémon Detective Pikachu, Southpaw and Fast & Furious 6. Other upcoming projects include the fairy tale Wonderwell with the late Carrie Fisher, and the DreamWorks series Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight.
