Blake Lively has signed up to play an assassin in new Netflix thriller Lady Killer.
Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody will adapt the Dark Horse Comics series for the big screen, with Lively also serving as a producer on the project, according to Deadline.
In the movie, the 33-year-old will portray 1950s housewife Josie Schuller, who looks like the perfect homemaker, but is in fact, a highly-trained assassin for hire named Lady Killer, and keeps her secret identity under wraps from everyone, including her husband.
The Dark Horse Comics series was created by Joelle Jones and Jamie S. Rich and was first published in 2015.
