Game Of Thrones actresses join Maze Runner sequel, supernatural thriller The Forest
Daenerys Targaryen’s favorite translator is headed into the maze. Nathalie Emmanuel has officially joined the cast of The Scorch Trials, the sequel to the YA action film The Maze Runner. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she’ll be playing “Harriet, the leader of a group of girls who’ve escaped from another maze that meets up with [Dylan] O’Brien’s group” which sounds only slightly less confusing to a franchise newbie than the prophecies in the House of the Undying (in the books, anyway). She’ll be joining fellow Game Of Thrones cast member Aidan Gillen, who joined the cast last month.
Missendai isn’t the only Thrones actress in a new role. After the jump, see what unknown factors Natalie Dormer will also be facing…
Margaery Tyrell is truly a kind and merciful screen queen. While there’s currently no word on Dormer reprising her role as Irene Adler/Moriarty for Elementary‘s third season, she was recently announced as the star of supernatural thriller The Forest. The film will have Dormer’s character flying to Japan to enter the titular forest (Aokigahara, a real place where people go to end their lives) in search of her mysteriously missing twin sister. She’ll be confronted by the angry souls of the dead, but what these spirits don’t know is that all roses have sharp thorns.
The Forest is currently slated for a January 2016 release, so if that’s too long to wait for some on-screen Dormer action, you can also see her (with a sweet-looking hairstyle) in another YA film franchise: The Hunger Games, whose third film, Mockingjay – Part 1, hits theaters November 21st.
