The 32-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Victoria Neuman in superhero TV series‘The Boys’ - will be starring opposite Lily Sullivan and David Rysdahl in the upcoming horror flick from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions.
While details of Doumit's role are currently unknown, the movie - which is set to be directed by ‘You Are Not My Mother’ filmmaker Kate Dolan and is due to hit theatres in June 2025 - will follow a man (Rysdahl) who acquires an A.I. robot (Sullivan) to help take his mind off of the recent loss of his wife.
In his attempts to turn the machine into a truly sentient and loving partner, the man accidentally creates a blood-thirsty soulmate.
Previously, Doumit had starred as the presidential hopeful Neuman in ‘The Boys’, though her tenure on the show came to an end after the character met a grizzly end at the hands of Billy Butcher (played by Karl Urban) in the season four finale.
Although she knew her alter ego was going to be killed off eventually because her story of seeking power was a "cautionary tale", the ‘Timeless’ star said she found the character’s death "really shocking and beautiful" and added it was "an honour" to have such a memorable demise.
She told TheWrap: "In terms of that death, it was really shocking and beautiful but most of all it was a great death. That’s an honor in and of itself.
"A great death is what you want, especially in a show like this. This all sounds crazy for me to say, but I was really happy about it.
"What’s funny is that it also just felt like another day at work. I’m not new to being drenched in fake blood, pretending that there’s something gruesome happening around me, the only difference was that day it was my fake blood and the gruesome thing was happening to me."
