According to Empire, Fast & Furious star Michelle Rodriguez has joins the cast of Steve McQueen’s (12 Years a Slave) next film Widows, where she will join the previously announced Viola Davis (Fences) and Cynthia Erivo, star of Broadway’s The Color Purple musical.

Widows has been scripted by McQueen and Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), and is based upon the British TV series created by Lynda La Plante. It follows three women who team up to complete a robbery after their husbands are killed on the job. Production is expected to get underway later this year.
