AWKWAFINA AS CONSTANCE VERITY
Because Constance Verity is to be embodied on the big screen by shooting star Awkwafina. The Nora Lim-born rapper is currently in Hollywood, like no other actress. Having made her breakthrough as a musician in 2012 and debuted on the big screen in a supporting role in "Bad Neighbors 2" in 2016, she has been making a real start since 2018. So she inspired the audience as a funny scene thief in both the comedy surprise hit "Crazy Rich" and in "Ocean's 8".

For A. Lee Martinez, who has developed a loyal fan base since 2006 with his humorously enriched fantasy books, it could become the first filming of one of his works.

"He has already sold the film rights, but it is currently unlikely that the originally planned filming of" Men In Black "director Barry Sonnenfeld and producer David Fincher will come yet.
No timetable for the production of "The Last Adventure Of Constance Verity" is yet to be known, so it can not be foreseen when the movie might hit theaters.
