Director Baz Luhrmann has filled another major role for his 3-D adaptation of The Great Gatsby. According to Deadline, newcomer Elizabeth Debicki will play Jordan Baker. Like Lurhrmann, she is from Australia. She just graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts and is described as having a “striking, athletic appearance” appropriate for the role of a golfer.

Ben Affleck recently bowed out of the role of Tom Buchanan.

The other major roles that have already been cast are:

Nick Carraway — Tobey Maguire

Gatsby — Leonardo DiCaprio

Daisy — Carey Mulligan
