First pics of Angelina Jolie in the spy thriller Salt

USA Today has posted the first two pictures of Angelina Jolie in disguise as CIA operative Evelyn A. Salt, in the Phillip Noyce-directed Salt.

The article says that Jolie began work a few days ago on the spy thriller, which follows a rogue CIA operative attempting to clear her name after she’s accused of being a Russian sleeper agent.

Among her many different looks in the film are an all-business blonde and a raven-haired femme fatale who easily could be concealing a dagger or a gun. Jolie’s character was originally was named Edwin A. Salt, back when the role was intended for Tom Cruise, who dropped out of the project last summer.

Salt co-stars Liev Schreiber as Winter, her ally and supervisor in the CIA’s Russia office, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Peabody, a counterintelligence officer looking to take her down.
