Spider-Man: Far from Home & Aladdin Actor Joins Sam Worthington & Gugu Mbatha-Raw In Seacole Biopic

EXCLUSIVE: Numan Acar, who appears in the upcoming Spider-Man: Far from Home, is set to play opposite Sam Worthington and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Seacole, the Charlie Stratton directed-indie based on the true-life story of Mary Seacole. Acar was most recently seen in Disneys live-action Aladdin remake and is currently shooting the last season of Homeland, after spending four seasons on the Showtime series.

Seacole follows Mbatha-Raw as Mary Seacole, a pioneering Jamaican nurse who became known during the Crimean War for her care of wounded British soldiers. Seacoles self-sacrifice on the front lines and fierce, adversarial relationship with Florence Nightingale during the war made her famous in her time.

Acar will play The Pasha, a handsome high ranking officer in the Turkish army, a lover not a fighter who helps Mary build her hotel.

Sylvia Hoeks and Sean Delaney also co-star.
