Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor is heading Down Under to star in an Australian shark thriller film later this year, reports claim.

The English star, 29, is apparently ‘in talks’ to star in the Sony Pictures project from Norwegian writer-director Tommy Wirkola, with filming set to take place at Docklands Studios, Melbourne, in July, Deadline reports.

So far the title and plot of the film is said to be ‘under wraps’, but it has been confirmed the film will be produced by Hyperobject Industries, a production company founded by Adam McKay.

Hyperobject Industries has previously been behind popular dramas Succession, The Menu and Don’t Look Up.

The production will reportedly inject $30million into the local economy.

According to Victorian creative industries minister Colin Brooks, the film has received state government support through the Victorian Screen Incentive Program and will create around 700 local jobs.

It comes after Phoebe confirmed her engagement to American actor turned influencer Cameron Fuller.

Cameron , 28, is the son of US horror film director Brad Fuller and was first seen with Phoebe in March last year.

Phoebe first revealed her oval engagement ring, reported to be worth £100,000 ($190,000), at last month’s Met Ball in New York, although the engagement was not confirmed until several days later.

Her mother Sally Dynevor, who has played Sally Webster on ITV soap Coronation Street for an astonishing 38 years, spoke of her happiness at her daughter’s news last month.

Sally, 61, told ITV daytime show Loose Women: ‘My daughter just got engaged. He’s gorgeous, he’s such a lovely man.’

She added: ‘I’m so, so happy. I’m thrilled, it’s actually made my year.’

Phoebe is best known for portraying Daphne in Netflix period drama Bridgerton.
