Dora the Explorer star Isabela Moner has been cast as Jason Momoa‘s daughter in Netflix’s revenge movie Sweet Girl.
The action film follows a devastated man (Momoa) who vows to bring justice to the people responsible for his wife’s death while protecting the only family he has left — his daughter (Moner). Sure, we’ve seen that story before, but I like the pairing of Momoa and Moner, and think they’ll make for a solid father-daughter team. I can’t wait to find out who’s playing the villain in this movie.
Brian Andrew Mendoza will make his feature directorial debut with Sweet Girl after previously working with Momoa on Braven and the TV series Frontier. The film hails from writers Gregg Hurwitz and Philip Eisner, as well as Will Staples, who wrote the latest draft. Momoa and Mendoza will produce along with Brad Peyton and Jeff Fierson of ASAP Entertainment, while Martin Kistler will serve as executive producer.
Production is slated to start soon in Pittsburgh, where an open casting call for extras is being held on Oct. 26 according to local media reports.
