Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly

Theron plays the anchor, 48, in Bombshell, which centers on the women working at Fox News and how they took on Roger Ailes, the former CEO of the news organization and the culture of sexual harassment he fostered.

In her 2016 memoir Settle for More, Kelly detailed the sexual harassment she said she endured while working for Ailes. He was accused of similar behavior by numerous women at Fox News, which he vehemently denied until his death in May 2017.

Ashley Green as Abby Huntsman

New to the cast is Ashley Greene, who signed on this week to play former Fox & Friends host Abby Hunstman.

Hunstman recently departed Fox & Friends to join The View as a conservitive ally to Meghan McCain.

Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson

Gretchen Carlson began the tidal wave effect that eventually led to Ailes' resignation when she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him on July 6, 2016. She turned out to be the first of many with allegations against Ailes.

Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman will be playing the trail-blazer in the upcoming movie.
