Rosamund Pike will play Tom Cruise's leading lady in "One Shot," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The actress won the coveted part over Hayley Atwell ("Captain America") and "Clash of the Titans" actress Alexa Davalos.
Pike, who drew acclaim for her role in "Barney's Version," tested on Saturday with director Christopher McQuarrie.
"One Shot" is a Paramount-Skydance adaptation of a 2005 Lee Child crime thriller.
It will likely shoot in Pittsburgh this fall.
