Mary Elizabeth Winstead for "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"

MTV reports that Mary Elizabeth Winstead (known for Scott Pilgrim Versus the World and Death Proof) will be playing the role of May Todd Lincoln in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Winstead is replacing Robin McLeavy, who was previously assigned the role during talks. The film is currently in pre-production.

Robin McLeavy for Mary Todd

LatinoReview reveals that Robin McLeavy will be playing Mary Todd in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. She will be the wife of Benjamin Walker’s Abe Lincoln. In the script, McLeavy’s character is described as a “petite 20 year old brunette,” so the casting seems appropriate for this very stylized thriller featuring a historical character.

LatinoReview also states that Dominican Cooper will play Henry Sturges (Abe's mentor), and Anthony Mackie will play Abe's best friend Will.
