Los Angeles  - Mila Kunis has been named for the second female lead in the psycho-thriller Black Swan, the Hollywood Reporter said Monday.

Kunis will play the rival of a successful ballet dancer, portrayed by Natalie Portman. While the women are working on important production, unexplained supernatural events begin occurring.

The film will be directed by Darren Aronofsky, who most recently directed the critically hailed The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke. (dpa)
