Adding to the fervor this week is Eiza Gonzalez, now set to follow up her breakout stardom in Baby Driver with a role in David Sandberg’s latest, Kung Fury 2: The Movie. The actress will be joined by an accrued cast that so far lists Michael Fassbender, Arnold Schwarzenegger and David Hasselhoff for the sequel sheperded by Sanberg following the hit release of 2015 crowdfunded shortfilm success, Kung Fury from his Laser Unicorn banner.

Set in 1985 in Miami, which is kept safe under the watchful eye of Kung Fury, the greatest damn cop of all time. Kung Fury’s Thundercops are the ultimate police force assembled from across history to defeat the villainous Kung Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler.
