Aaron Pierre has been cast opposite Margaret Qualley in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios project Love of Your Life, with Patrick Schwarzenegger also on board. The film will be directed by Rachel Morrison, marking another high-profile outing for the acclaimed cinematographer-turned-director.

The screenplay is penned by Julia Cox, while Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson are producing the film under their Open Invite Entertainment banner. While plot details are still tightly under wraps, the film has already drawn buzz thanks to the impressive lineup of talent attached both in front of and behind the camera.

Pierre, whose star has been on a meteoric rise, recently voiced the titular character in Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King, a box office hit. He also earned accolades for his role in Rebel Ridge, one of Netflix’s most anticipated thrillers of 2024.

On the television front, Pierre has been tapped to play a leading role in HBO’s Lanterns, based on the Green Lantern universe, which is currently in production. He was also recently cast in a major part in the latest season of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show.
