Actor Jonah Hauer-King, who was recently seen in Peacock's historical drama miniseries The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Tali Shalom Ezer, has joined the star cast of Kathryn Bigelow's next untitled film for Netflix.
Hauer-King will be joined by Idris Elba, Greta Lee, Rebecca Ferguson, Jared Harris, Moses Ingram, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts and Gabriel Basso. The 29-year-old actor, who rose to fame with his role of Prince Eric in Disney's musical romantic fantasy The Little Mermaid (2023), will next be seen in the lead role in BBC's science fiction series Doctor Who, which will begin streaming in 2025. The series, created by Sydney Newman, CE Webber, and Donald Wilson, has been broadcast by the British public service broadcaster since 1963.
Billed as a thriller, the plot details and title of the Bigelow film are still kept under wraps. However, the film is said to be set at the White House as a national crisis unfolds, a Deadline report states.
The Academy Award-winning director will return to films after a gap of seven years since her last feature, Detroit (2017), starring John Boyega, Will Poulter, and Algee Smith, among others.
