Jessica Alba, the radiant star of the "Fantastic Four," is making a triumphant return to the limelight, securing a commanding lead role in an upcoming spy thriller that promises to captivate audiences. Having enchanted viewers as Sue Storm, a.k.a. "The Invisible Girl," in Marvel's 2005 film and its sequel, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," the actress has now been cast as the protagonist in "The Mark," helmed by the talented director Justin Chadwick.
Slated to commence production in Australia this July, this gripping spy film will showcase the 44-year-old Alba in the enigmatic role of Eden, a mysterious spy ensnared in a complex web of international espionage. The storyline hints at Eden's mesmerizing pull, drawing Ben Dawson, a devoted single father, into her perilous world. Mistaken for the world's most feared assassin, Ben becomes the ideal pawn in Eden's covert operation to uncover a sprawling conspiracy involving corrupt politicians.
As the CIA, Interpol, and formidable criminal syndicates narrow in on them, Eden must keep Ben alive long enough to see her mission through to its conclusion. Meanwhile, Ben must summon the inner strength of an action hero to survive and make his way back to the person who matters most in his life: his beloved daughter.
For those unfamiliar with her illustrious career, Alba first gained fame with her critically acclaimed yet short-lived TV series "Dark Angel," which earned her her maiden Golden Globe nomination. Since then, she has gone on to star in over 25 films, with her most recent credits including executive producing and starring in the Netflix thriller "Trigger Warning."
