Miranda Otto to play female lead in 24: Legacy

January 28, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Following on from the casting of Corey Hawkins as former Army Ranger agent Eric Carter in the upcoming 24 revival, it has now been revealed that Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings, Homeland) is set to play the female lead in 24: Legacy.

Otto will play Rebecca Ingram, the “blazing smart former head of CTU. Now married to Senator John Donovan, Rebecca is struggling with second thoughts about having left counterterrorism agency.”

THR reports that the pilot revolves around Carter’s “return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.”
