Batman: In the Shadows: Jonathan Pryce (Mexican Gothic, Teen Titans) is back once again Batman's confidant, Alfred Pennyworth. Two new faces will be joining the Batman franchise and the DC Comics Universe in this one though - Chris Rock (Spiral, "Fargo") and Adele Exarchopoulos (Cybil, Racer and the Jailbird). Exarchopoulos will play the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul and the former lover of Bruce Wayne, Talia Al Ghul. Rock, meanwhile, has been cast as Gotham City's newly elected district attorney. Joseph Kosinski directs once again from a script by DC stalwart APJ.
El Dorado: The opening film of Season 23 will be El Dorado, an adventure/horror film about an expedition to find the fabled city of El Dorado. Tom Hiddleston (Mexican Gothic, Ghost Stories), Wyatt Russell (Wish You Were Here, Doctor Love), David Harbour (Aliens vs Predator: The Long War, Doctor Love) and Jack Huston (Days Without End, Adr1ft) are set to headline to film as members of the expedition. Hiddleston will play a researcher, Russell will play a timber magnate financing the trip, Harhour will play an adventurer, and Huston will play a ship captain. Antonio Campos (Deprogramming, Mona Lisa) is behind the camera for this one, directing a script penned by Billy Cruder (Tekken: Blood Feud, Bad Dreams Come True).
American Idiot: Jeremy Allen White (Knievel, "Shameless") and Katherine Langford (The Betrothed, Fear of the Dark) have been set to star in American Idiot from director David Michod (Outlaw Country, Atlantis) and writer Meirad Tako (If We Know the Right Way, The Emperor of Latium). The film is not based on the hit Broadway musical, but rather on the Green Day album itself.
Grayson: As soon as he's done with his supporting role in Batman: In the Shadows, Tarton Egerton (Teen Titans, Attraction/Deception) will headline his own DC Comics Universe film as his character Dick Grayson / Robin. The film will see him go up against a couple of Batman's former foes: Black Mask and Firefly - played once again by Michael Pitt (Lowell, Batman: Gotham Knight) and Karl Glusman (Wolf, Excalibur) respectively. The filmmaking duo Daniels (Swiss Army Man, Everything Everywhere All at Once) have been tasked with directing the film from a script by Jimmy Ellis (Who Watches the Watchmen, Northrock).
Haven: Ben Stiller (The Meyerowitz Stories, Brad's Status) is finally set to make his first LRF appearance. He will star in and direct the feature, Haven. Jessica Chastain (Odysseus - Part Two, Painkiller Jane), Julia Garner (Batman: Arkham, "Ozark") and Noah Schnapp (The Dark Tower II, Peter and the Shadow Thieves) will co-star alongside him. They will play a family that moves to a seemingly perfect town for a change of pace. The film was written by John Malone (Supergirl, Risico) and Chad Taylor (Broadway, The Black Cat Strikes Again!).
