Lovi Poe joins cast of upcoming film by ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ director

Lovi Poe is certainly on a roll in the international movie scene, as the Filipino actress is set to star in an upcoming film by American producer-director Garry A. Brown.

The new movie, whose title is yet to be revealed, comes over a decade since Brown joined Marvel Studios to produce and direct multiple seasons of the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Poe's inclusion in his new project was first publicized by Deadline in a report on March 21, which was later shared by the actress on her Instagram account.

"Couldn't be happier to share this with you guys," Poe began her post on March 22. "Really grateful for the opportunity to work with such amazing filmmakers and be part of the inspiring true story of Paul and Marie Fullerton."

According to the portal, the film will be based on the true story of American fire captain Paul Fullerton, whose life began taking a grim turn when he and his wife Marie were "unjustly accused of selling and distributing marijuana."

Poe is set to portray Fullerton's wife, while the fire captain will be played by Canadian actor Adam Beach. Deadline reported that filming will begin later this year in Dallas, Texas.
