Apparently more people than just Steven Soderbergh are interested in her unique talent, as THR is reporting that Carano has been cast in the upcoming action-thriller In the Blood.

Described as similar to Liam Neeson’s Taken, the film follows a woman who seeks revenge on men she thinks kidnapped and killed her husband while they were vacationing in the Caribbean. The film is being directed by John Stockwell (Into the Blue), from a script by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston.
