Storm Reidis busy busy right now! She had a fantastic 2019 betweenWhen They See UsandEuphoriaand she’s also in one of my most anticipated films of 2020,The Invisible Man. But things don’t stop there for theWrinkle in Timebreakout.
Reid playsZendaya’s sister, Gia Bennett, onEuphoria. While she did have a nice chunk of screen time in Season 1 of the hit HBO show, including some A+ chemistry with Zendaya, we need more Gia in Season 2 and according to Reid, we’re going to get it! While out promotingThe Invisible Man, Reid took a moment to briefly address some upcoming projects includingEuphoria. When asked if Gia will be in the spotlight more this time around, this is what Reid told us:
“Yes! Yes. Gia’s becoming her own person and she’s getting her own storyline which is very exciting so I’m excited to start that very soon.”
Another project on Reid’s to do list that’s getting a whole lot of attention right now isJames Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad. Back in July of 2019 it was reported that Reid joined the cast asIdris Elba’s daughter in the film. You might remember, Elba was originally cast as Deadshot, but given the fact that the re-casting was never smoothed over withWill Smithfirst, Elba and Gunn wound up finding a new character for him to play. Who is this character? We have no clue, which means we don’t know the specifics on Reid’s character either. But what we do know right now is that Reid has completed shooting her portion of the film:
“[James Gunn] is incredible. The nicest person but also super duper talented. And I have filmed my piece inSucidie Squad 2so I can’t wait to see that all come together. And I was a fan of the franchise before so now to be a part of it is really cool.”
So there you have it! That’s what Reid is up to right now.The Suicide Squaddoesn’t hit theaters until June 18, 2025 and HBO has yet to confirm a premiere date forEuphoriaSeason 2, but if you want more Storm Reid ASAP, you don’t have long to wait becauseThe Invisible Manhits theaters nationwide on February 28th - and she’s excellent in it.
