Netflix has cast Adeline Rudolph in its reboot of the 2004 romantic comedy 13 Going on 30. The addition to the cast has prompted a wave of online discussion, with some fans urging Hollywood to let nostalgia-driven projects fade while others await the updated take on the story of self-discovery through unexpected circumstances.
The 31-year-old Hong Kong-born British performer, who has built a profile through roles in Mortal Kombat II as Kitana, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, and television series including Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Riverdale and Resident Evil, is set to star next to Emily Bader and Logan Lerman. Their individual characters have not been specified at this stage. The reboot was first announced in March 2026.
