Cuthbert will play the outlandish sister of Pill’s Eva, with Scott returning as Doug “The Thug” Glatt for the sequel. The plot sees Glatt’s team, the Halifax Highlanders, bringing on a new team of players in the midst of a professional hockey player strike.
Perhaps best known as Kim Bauer on Fox’s “24,” Cuthbert previously co-starred with Scott in last year’s dramedy Just Before I Go, and recently headlined the cancelled NBC sitcom “One Big Happy.” A Canadian herself, she is an avowed hockey fan and is married to Dion Phaneuf of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Original co-writer Jay Baruchel will direct Goon: Last of the Enforcers from a screenplay he wrote with Jesse Chabotwith. No Trace Camping’s Jeff Arkuss, David Gross and Jesse Shapira are producing alongside Caramel Films’ André Rouleau. Evan Goldberg will executive produce.
