Jennifer Garner gears up for new project in the space

Jennifer Garner is all set to board in her new leading role.

As per a report by Deadline, the 53-year-old actress will star in a sci-fi film named Zygote.

The movie chronicles the story of “an elite crisis negotiator who is sent 254 miles from Earth as a response to hostages on the International Space Station. Due to the unexpected nature of the expedition, she quickly realizes this could be her final mission, as she is forced to confront the limits of her life’s work alongside her own mortality," according to the outlet.

Garner's upcoming sci-fi is inspired by a short story by Alyssa Hill, who will also write the screenplay for Zygote.

Kara Durrett and Jessamine Burgum will produce the drama while the director for the film is yet to be revealed.

This will mark Garner's first leading role since her Apple’s 2023 hit series The Last Thing He Told Me and Netflix comedy, Family Switch, released same year.
