The Pieces of a Woman actress would be replacing Comer for the role of Empress Josephine, the first wife of the notorious French military leader.
The film will capture Napoleon’s famous battles, his relentless ambition, and “astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader and war visionary.”
Following the confirmation of Jodie Comer’s exit from Kitbag, it looks like Ridley Scott has already found the right actress to take over the female lead opposite Joaquin Phoenix.
Deadline brings word that Oscar nominee Vanessa Kirby is currently in negotiations to star in Apple’s upcoming Napoleon Bonaparte biographical drama film.
