Recently, The Russo Brothers released their latest film The Gray Man via Netflix. The action-thriller was met with mixed reviews from the critics with many praising the performances of the cast featuring Ryan Gosling, Ana De Armas, and Chris Evans. With that in mind, the filmmaker duo is enlisting a rather impressive ensemble for their next film as well. As first reported by Deadline, The Russos have tapped Michelle Yeoh and Stanley Tucci for their latest film.

Yeoh and Tucci join fellow recent additions Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, and Jenny Slate in the cast. Moreover, all five newcomers will join the previously cast Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown in the project as well. The film, titled The Electric State, was recently acquired by Netflix following a heated bidding war. The Russo Brothers will direct the feature as well as produce via their AGBO banner. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely will pen the screenplay as an adaptation of the graphic novel with the same name. Moreover, Mike Larocca (21 Bridges) is on board as an executive producer as well.

Written by Simon Stålenhag, The Electric State follows a runaway teenager (Brown) and her yellow robot.
