Variety is reporting that Jona Xiao has joined the cast of Marvel Studios & Sony Pictures' highly anticipated joint-collaboration Spider-Man: Homecoming and just like every other bit of casting for the film, details on her role are being kept under wraps for the time being.
The Jon Watts-directed feature is currently deep into principal photography in Atlanta and should continue filming throughout September. Outside of knowing the Vulture, played by Academy Award-nominee Michael Keaton, will be the main threat to Tom Holland's friendly neighborhood wall-crawler, not much has been revealed about the film's plot and/or which classic Spidey characters will feature, although there have been a number of rumors floating around on the internet the past week or so.
Xiao is probably best known for her current recurring role as Julie Yang on the AMC drama series Halt and Catch Fire and can be seen next in the comedy Keeping Up With The Joneses alongside Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), Isla Fisher (Now You See Me), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman). She also has a role in Marc Webb's next - Gifted, which features Chris Evans (Captain America: Civil War) in the lead role and is due out April 2017.
