Kevin Costner is set to star in a new space drama. The 61-year-old actor has reportedly been cast as the head of the NASA space programme in the forthcoming film Hidden Figures alongside his former co-star Octavia Spencer and Taraji P Henson, according to Variety. The movie will follow the story of a mathematician who, along with her colleagues Dorothy Vaughn and Mary Jackson, served as the masterminds behind the historic launch of astronaut John Glenn - the first American to orbit the Earth - into space in 1962.
