Shortly after hearing that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in talks to join Channing Tatum in Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe sequel, word comes that Elodie Yung, the badass French actress from District 13: Ultimatum, is also circling a role.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Yung will play "a ninja member of the Joe squad named Jinx." Jinx is one of the new characters being introduced to the film series, although she previously appeared in the G.I. Joe franchise and the 1987 animated movie. In previous Joe lore, Jinx was a Japanese-American agent and martial expert recruited by Snake Eyes.

Yung can also be seen in David Fincher's upcoming The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo as the lesbian girlfriend of Rooney Mara's character but in the meantime, check out her awesome ponytail weaponry in this District 13 clip.
