Adam Driver to star in Jeff Nichols's upcoming film Yankee Comandante

Adam Driver, who was last seen in Netflix's Marriage Story, has been cast in  Jeff Nichols's upcoming film Yankee Comandante.

Nichols, popular for his works in Midnight Special and Mud, is set to write and direct the film. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shooting of the film might not begin any time soon. It is expected to begin in 2021. 

The film will be based on David Grann’s 2012 New Yorker article about the true story of two people - Midwesterner William Alexander Morgan and Che Guevara, who rose to the rank of comandante during the Cuban Revolution. 

Just before the productions came to a standstill, Driver was filming for Ridley Scott's The Last Duel. The films also stars Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Jodie Comer.
