What Happened to Sofia Boutella?

Since Beyond, Sofia Boutella has remained busy, appearing in several film and TV projects including The Mummy, Atomic Blonde, Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, and SAS: Rogue Heroes.

Boutella just wrapped filming as the star of Zack Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi movie, Rebel Moon.

Growing up in Paris, Boutella was exposed to many more forms of dance, particularly hip-hop and street dance, which intrigued her for offering more freedom compared to the more disciplined styles of ballet and gymnastics. She joined a group called the Vagabond Crew, which won the Battle of the Year in 2006.

Boutella successfully auditioned for the Michael Jackson This Is It concerts but could not attend due to the extension of the Madonna tour, whose dates coincided with the Jackson tour. She was the main character in the music video for Hollywood Tonight by Michael Jackson in February 2011.

In 2017, Boutella portrayed a French secret agent in the David Leitch film Atomic Blonde, which also featured Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman and Toby Jones. The same year, she played the titular role in The Mummy, along with Tom Cruise, Russell Crow and Annabelle Wallis.
