‘Godzilla X Kong’ Actress Kaylee Hottle’s Sister To Take On Role In Unfinished Final Film Following Her Death

Jasmine Hottle will take over the role her younger sister Kaylee had been due to play in the unfinished film *What Doesn’t Kill Us*. The filmmakers say the casting honours Kaylee’s memory while allowing the project to continue, and supports its aim of authentic disability representation.

The film follows disabled friends who aspire to be superheroes and use their disabilities to their advantage. Jasmine, who is deaf like Kaylee, is set to star with Alaqua Cox, Elliot and Lucas Woolrich, and Maddie Haining; Anna Campbell will direct and co-write with Mingo and Elliot Woolrich. Kaylee died aged 18 in July 2026 after a car crash in Maryland.
