Production on Zombieland 2 was reportedly played by Zoey Deutch.

As reported by Deadline, the already-impressive Zombieland 2 ensemble is getting another new addition in the person of Rosario Dawson. No details about her character are being offered up, however, the previous report about plot details mentioned a female zombie killer named Nevada who crosses paths with Harrelson's Tallahassee. Dawson would be a natural choice to play this new, highly skilled zombie-killing character who could seemingly become a love interest for Tallahassee as well.

Harrelson and Dawson have in fact worked together before, both appearing in the 2008 Will Smith drama Seven Pounds. Dawson got her big break as an actress back in 1995 when she appeared in Larry Clark's controversial drama Kids, and later went on to appear in everything from Luke Cage.

With her run as a Marvel Universe heroine seemingly at an end as Netflix cancels all its Marvel shows, Dawson will make the leap over to the zombie apocalypse world of Zombieland 2. Of course, the Zombieland tone is a far cry from your average zombie movie/TV show, as it puts a much more comedic slant on the formula. By all s, Ruben Fleischer and writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and David Callaham have some wild things in store for fans as they dive back into the world of Zombieland for a second go-around.
