“X-Men Apocalypse”‘s Lana Condor cast in “Battle Angel Alita” adaptation

Some of us (mainly me) felt a bit short changed when we didn’t get to see much of Jubilee in action when X-Men Apocalypse rolled around. Lana Condor, the actor who played the mutant who can orchestrate a Independence day with her fingertips, will be making another appearance however that should have anime fans a bit psyched.

Lana Condor is slated to appear in the live-action adaptation of the manga / anime Battle Angel Alita.

Condor will play Koyomi in the film.

The film is being directed by Robert Rodriquez. Condor joins a decent cast, including actors Rosa Salazar, Jackie Earle Haley, Ed Skrein, Eiza Gonzalez and Christoph Waltz

The Battle Angel Alita manga series was created by Yukito Kushiro that tells the narrative of Alita (Salazar), an amnesiac female cyborg who is rescued from a scrapyard by a doctor (Waltz). The rebuilt Alita, remembering only her training in a deadly martial art, becomes a hunter-warrior, tracking down and eliminating vicious criminals.
