Tony-nominated "Hamilton" star Phillipa Soo has joined the cast of the upcoming film "One True Loves" alongside Simu Liu, or Marvel's "Shang-Chi."

The film tells a moving love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who finally has brought her back to life, according to Deadline. It is based on the novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Luke Bracey has also joined the cast.

Andy Fickman is on board as director. His feature directorial credits include "She's the Man" and "Parental Guidance." On stage, Fickman directs the West End production of "Heathers the Musical."
