Angelina Jolie is set to play an assassin again. In March, Scottish comic writer Mark Millar, one of the world's leading comic writers and works for Marvel,convinced Jolie to appear in his first motion picture, a 100 million pounds (over 200million U.S. dollars)science fiction movie.

The actress will star as a leading assassin, called The Fox,inthis Universal Pictures' action adventure flick to be released next year, which is an adaptation of a novel titled "Wanted" published three years ago.

"Angelina's pretty much the biggest female star in the world right now and so I'm naturally quite pleased about the casting," Millar explained his choice.

"She's spectacular-looking and, as her Oscar proves, a great actress with real depth I think she's one of the few Hollywood A-listers who could pull this off. The rest of them are very tiny and dainty. Angelina looks like she could kick your head in,"Millar added.
