Road House star Daniela Melchior has joined the cast of Paul Rudd and Jack Black's upcoming Anaconda reboot.
According to Deadline, it's been confirmed that Melchior will star alongside Rudd and Black in the upcoming film, though details of her character are being kept under wraps for the time being.
The original 1997 thriller – starring Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, Owen Wilson and Ice Cube – follows a National Geographic film crew that is taken hostage by a hunter who forces them along on his quest to capture an anaconda.

The reboot will reportedly lean more towards comedy, following a group of friends who decide to remake their favourite movie from their youth – though things don't go to plan.
Details of Rudd and Black's roles are also being kept under wraps, but two of the lead characters are described as a director moonlighting as a wedding videographer and a struggling actor.

Melchior most recently starred in Prime Video's Road House reboot opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.
The film, which is a remake of the 1989 film of the same name, stars Gyllenhaal as an ex-UFC fighter who takes on a job as a bouncer at a Florida roadhouse.
After becoming one of the streaming service's most-watched original movie's ever, it was announced in May that the film would be getting a sequel.
"With nearly 80 million viewers to date, Jake Gyllenhaal is set to reprise his role as Elwood Dalton in a Road House sequel," Prime Video wrote on X (formerly Twitter) at the time.
Anaconda doesn't have a release date yet. Road House is available to watch on Prime Video.
