The film's previously-announced cast also includes Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra, A Bug's Life's David Foley, The Daily Show's Desi Lydic, and The Umbrella Academy's Tom Hopper.
Producer Jon Borg previously said: "Emma's incredible wit and comedic timing perfectly embodies the role of Rex, and Liz's rendering of this character makes the female take-over of the STEM field so uniquely relatable and fun, and we hope it inspires young women interested in the field.
"The space race continues to intrigue all of us globally, so we have no doubt viewers far and wide will connect with this amazing female-driven narrative."
Production on the film began in September, with Amazon Prime Video securing international distribution rights.

Meanwhile, The Flight Attendant hasn't been renewed for a third season yet, but Kaley Cuoco is definitely up for doing one.
"I was at a dinner a couple of weeks ago sitting next to [executive producer] Greg Berlanti, and there were a lot of people there so it was really hard to talk, but I whispered to him, and I'm like, 'Third season?' And he just nodded at me," she teased.
The Flight Attendant airs on HBO Max in the US, and Sky Max and NOW in the UK. The series is based on the book of the same name by Chris Bohjalian.
