Abbie Cornish is set to give a welcome female boost to Martin McDonagh’s Seven Psychopaths.

The Sucker Punch star will be joining former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko in the male-dominated cast, which already includes Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson, reported the New York Daily News.
