Dwayne Johnson and Entertainment Weekly have revealed that Quantico’s Priyanka Chopra has been cast as the antagonist to this hard-bodied brain trust. Chopra will play Victoria Leeds, a character we and EW know nothing about other than that she’s the bad guy/girl. The actress was rumored to be joining the film back in January, when the role was also described as the “villain” of the piece, which presumably means she’ll be a rich developer who wants to pave over their beach paradise and put up a Whole Foods (now with tattoo parlor).
Johnson personally welcomed Chopra to the “dysfunctional family” of lifeguards who seem doomed to patrol a beach made of quicksand that slows down their running and rescuing efforts. The long-gestating film is scheduled for release on May 19, 2017.
