Chloe Zhao of "The Rider" fame is directing the film from a script by Matthew and Ryan Firpo. Marvel head Kevin Feige is producing. Hayek, 52, will be next seen alongside Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson in "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard", the sequel to 2017 hit "The Hitman's Bodyguard".
On personal front, Hayek is enjoying the marital bliss. In an interview, Hayek had said that marriage is her “biggest accomplishment”. The “Everly” star tied the knot with businessman Franois-Henri Pinault in 2009 and is thrilled her marriage is “full of love”.
“A good marriage, full of love, is my biggest accomplishment. Home is where my husband is. He is home. Everything outside of the family nucleus is an adventure that you’re living together (as a couple).”
