Sean Bean Joins Jupiter Ascending

Sean Bean is the latest name to join the cast of Andy and Lana Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending, Deadline reports. He'll star in the sci-fi tale opposite Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis and Eddie Redmayne.

The film focuses on higher forms of life who are watching us from other worlds. Kunis will play a Russian immigrant who is busily scrubbing toilets for a living. Unbeknownst to her, she actually possesses the same perfect genetic makeup as the Queen of the Universe and is therefore a threat to herself.

In a universe where humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, a young destitute human woman is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because her very existence threatens to end the Queen's reign.
