Japanese actress and singer Ana SawaiAnna Sawai is joining A24’s highly anticipated crime thriller Enemies, co-starring alongside Jeremy Allen White, Austin Butler, and Japanese actor Hidetoshi Nishijima, according to Deadline.

Directed by Henry Dunham, the film follows a tense showdown between a relentless detective and a notorious hitman in Chicago. The casting news comes after the film was officially confirmed by A24 yesterday.
