The film has faced a number of delays, the most recent one resulting from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. With both situations resolved, filming is reportedly set to begin in the Summer of this year, with a projected release date of July 25, 2025.
Shakman is still attached to direct the film, with Avatar 2 scribe Josh Friedman tapped to pen the most recent script. Reports have circulated that the movie is undergoing rewrites prior to production, but that is yet to be officially confirmed.
This casting adds another massive franchise to Pascal’s already extensive filmography. He has already starred in Game of Thrones, The Last of Us, and the Star Wars series The Mandalorian.Â
