Cardi B Set To Join Star-Studded Cast For Movie Debut In Stripper Flick

 Grammy Award winner, Cardi B will flex her acting chops for her feature debut in an upcoming film titled Hustlers, also starring Jennifer Lopez and Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu.

According to Deadline, the film follows a crew of savvy former strip club employees who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients. The former dancers get their revenge on wealthy, drunk and abusive clients by maxing out their credit cards after they’ve passed out. The film is reportedly inspired by a 2016 New York Magazine article that went viral.

The Like It rapper will be joining Keke Palmer (PIMP), Lili Reinhart (Riverdale), Julia Stiles (Silver Linings Playbook) and Oscar-winner Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King). Mette Towley (Cats) and Trace Lysette (Transparent) are in negotiations to join the film.

“We could not have asked for a more exciting or talented lineup of performers to join our cast,” STXfilms chairman Adam Fogelson said in a statement. “STX is thrilled to reunite with Jennifer, Elaine (Goldsmith-Thomas) and Benny (Medina) to bring this unexpected, entertaining and often shocking story to the big screen for audiences worldwide.”

STXfilms is producing the film alongside JLo, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and JLo's manager Benny Medina, who previously collaborated with STX on 2018 rom-com Second Act, as well as Adam McKay, Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions. Lorene Scafaria is directing.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this dynamic group of women,” said Scafaria. “We’re grateful to have assembled such a powerhouse cast and can’t wait to start filming at the end of the week.”
