Heart of Stone actors and characters
The official synopsis for the film reads: “Rachel Stone is an intelligence operative, the only woman who stands between her powerful global peacekeeping organization and the loss of its most valuable — and dangerous — asset.”
Rachel Stone: Gal Gadot
NetflixGal Gadot plays Rachel Stone, a skilled intelligence officer who is the only thing that stands in-between her organization and the lethal weapon that could end their existence. Gadot told Tudum: “It was really important to me that Rachel be a character who can fight, but I also wanted her to be able to use her brain, intuition and emotions. She doesn’t just run in, guns blazing. She thinks about how she is affecting people and situations.”
Gadot is best known for her role as Wonder Woman in the DCEU along with her appearances in the Fast and Furious franchise.
Parker: Jamie Dornan
NetflixJamie Dornan plays Parker, the leader of Stone’s MI6 team. A skilled agent in his own right, at first Parker chuckles at the seemingly unprepared Stone, but she soon manages to earn his respect.
Dornan rose to fame thanks to his role as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, but also appeared in other films like Barb & Star Go to Vista del Mar and The Fall.
Keya Dhawan: Alia Bhatt
NetflixAlia Bhatt plays Keya Dhawan, a mysterious hacker who’s out to steal the Heart, the Charter’s state-of-the-art artificial intelligence. “If you own the heart, you own the world. And clearly she’s here to disrupt a couple of things,” Bhatt explained to Tudum.
Bhatt is an incredibly famous Bollywood actress who has appeared in popular movies like Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, Highway, and Raazi. Heart of Stone is her first English speaking role.
Jack of Hearts: Matthias Schweighöfer
NetflixMatthias Schweighöfer plays Jack of Hearts, the Charter’s tech specialist who’s a genius that works closely with the artificial intelligence at the center of their operations.
Schweighöfer is best known for his ensemble role in Zack Snyder’s Army of Thieves, but can be seen in other projects like The Red Baron and, most recently, Oppenheimer.
Nomad: Sophie Okonedo
NetflixSophie Okonedo plays Nomad, a mysterious character that has no real details to explain her motives. The film’s director, Tom Harper, spoke to Tudum about Okonedo’s role and said: “There’s such a depth to her performance. She can be light one moment, and then in the blink of an eye she can turn steely. That contrast — when you slip between thinking she’s having a nice conversation to ‘I’m going to kill you’ — is a really wonderful thing to play with.”
Okonedo appeared in the film Hotel Rwanda, which garnered her an Oscar nomination, and has since been in movies like The Secret Life of Bees, Wild Rose, and Death on the Nile.
Max Bailey: Paul Ready
NetflixPaul Ready plays Max Bailey, an MI6 driver and comms operative who supports his team in the field. He’s Rachel’s closest friend on her new squad and a good-natured conspiracy theorist with a heart of gold.
Ready has been acting since the ’90s and can be seen in projects such as The Tunnel, The Terror, and Bodyguard.
Theresa Yang: Jing Lusi
NetflixJing Lusi plays Theresa Yang, MI6 team’s designated sharpshooter. She’s a team player with deadly skills and a cool, composed attitude.
Lusi is best known for her role as Amanda Ling in Crazy Rich Asians, but can also be seen in works like Law & Order: UK and Gangs of London.
Heart of Stone hits Netflix on August 11. You can find out more about the movie here.
