Rita Ora Joins "Voltron" Movie

Rita Ora is the latest addition to the cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ "Voltron" movie.

Sterling K. Brown and John Kim have also joined the project. They join previously announced stars Daniel Quinn-Toye and Henry Cavill. Rawson Marshall Thurber is directing from a script he wrote with Ellen Shanman.

Plot details are under wraps, but Thurber shared a video message with Voltron fans during VoltCon in which he shared: “I want to make sure that we stay true to the heart and the spirit of Voltron. In this film, we’re going to be introducing an entirely new generation of pilots. We’ve reimagined Voltron for the live-action world, but we’re going to stay true to … those iconic elements that you love, that I love. And I’m so excited to share it with you.”

Producers of the pic are Todd Lieberman via Hidden Pictures, Bob Koplar, Thurber, and Hobie Films’ David Hoberman.

Ora counts over 10 billion global streams and 13 Top 10 UK singles, four of which have gone No. 1. Her feature and TV credits include starring in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" franchise, "Detective Pikachu", "Twist", "Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight" and "Descendants: The Rise of Red", which broke records and became Disney Branded Television’s most-viewed Disney Channel original movie premiere on Disney+ by amassing nearly 7 million views within its first three days of streaming. 

Her additional TV credits include co-hosting Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and the MTV European Music Awards, serving as a panelist on The Masked Singer U.S. and The Masked Singer UK, and as a judge on The Voice Australia. 

Ora will soon appear in the upcoming films "Tin Soldier", alongside Robert De Niro and Jamie Foxx, and "He Bled Neon".
