In the film, Django (Foxx) is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Waltz) becomes a badass bounty hunter himself. After assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, he is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner (DiCaprio).
Russell will be playing a character called Ace, a man who oversees the plantation in a ruthless manner and who relishes punishing slaves. Costner had to drop the role two weeks ago due to schedule conflicts.
Cayouette will play DiCaprio's widowed sister, a southern belle who co-owns the plantation.
