Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje has joined the cast of Sony Pictures' 'Annie', a reimagining of the Broadway musical which stars Quvenzhané Wallis as the title character. Agbaje will play a character named Nash, who's described as the tough but lovable bodyguard and driver for Benjamin Stacks (the character played by Jamie Foxx – the Daddy Warbucks of the movie). He's also a good friend to Annie.
Co-starring Cameron Diaz, Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne, ‘Annie’ is currently filming in New York City and is directed by Will Gluck. Will & Jada Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, in partnership with Jay-Z (who'll be working on the soundtrack) are producing.
The long-in-development remake of the Broadway musical will be released by Sony Pictures on December 19, 2014. Agbaje will also be appearing in the upcoming Thor movie, Thor: The Dark World.
Busy guy!
