In addition to Lawrence, Red Sparrow stars Joel Edgerton as the CIA agent Nate Nash, Jeremy Irons, Charlotte Rampling and Ciarán Hinds.
That said, with O’Brien set to lead American Assassin later this year alongside Michael Keaton, it seems his star is on the rise and he, along with those fans continuing with The Maze Runner series, could still prove to make The Death Cure a success.
As for The Death Cure, it will hit theaters roughly two and a half years after the previous installment in the series, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and may struggle to succeed since the decline in popularity of YA-adapted sci-fi properties.
Footage for Red Sparrow screened at CinemaCon, which detailed the background of Lawrence’s character, Dominika Egorova, and how she became a spy for the Russian government.
