In Development

 
Superman: Exile: A few more familiar faces will be appearing in the third Superman film from writer John Malone and director Jeff Nichols. Dichen Lachman (Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Justice League Unlimited) is back as Mercy Graves, Gary Sinise (A Reputation, Supergirl) will once again appear as General Sam Lane, and Tom Wright is back as Senator Schuster (Superman: The Man of Tomorrow, Message from the King). On top of that, some new faces will join the franchise. Molly Gordon (Tail, Graduation Trip) will play Lois' sister Lucy, while Duke Davis Roberts ("Heels", Tres Leches) and Irina Shayk (Hercules) will play General Zod's underlings.

Moon Knight: Rounding out the cast of the debut film of Season 29, the Marvel Universe production Moon Knight, will be Joan Allen (Control, "Lisey's Story"), Amir El-Masry (A Haunting in Venice, "Vigil"), Nicholas Pinnock (The Book of Clarence, Dark Encounter) and Christian Camargo ("See", The Last Manhunt). Denis Villeneuve directs the Leonardo DiCaprio-led film from a script by Jimmy Ellis and Mark Newton.

The Omen: Stephen Graham (Caesar Part III, Wish You Were Here), Liam Cunningham (Wonder Woman: Labyrinth, The Last Voyage of the Demeter) and Jude Hill (A Haunting in Michigan) have joined the horror remake The Omen from writer Chad Taylor and director Ari Aster. Graham will play a British tabloid journalist, Cunningham will play the British Royal Family's personal bishop, and Hill will play the young son of the King of England.

Good Marriage: Sonequa Martin-Green (No Promises in the Wind, "Star Trek: Discovery"), Stephan James (Rainbow Six, The Hit Maker), April Bowlby (Recursion, "Doom Patrol"), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Home Before Dark, "Wilderness") and Stephen Kunken (Hillbilly Elegy, "Billions") have all joined the expansive ensemble cast of Good Marriage. The film is based on the novel by Kimberly McCreight, which tells the story of a lawyer helping an old friend while her marriage has troubles. Gwendolyn King penned the adaptation, which is being directed by Pedro Almodovar.

One By One: Another novel adaptation due out in Season 29 is One By One, based on the novel by Ruth Ware, which has added Matthias Schweighöfer (Oppenheimer, Army of Thieves), Paul Walter Hauser (Urban Cowboy, Lock Every Door), Teyonah Parris (E.P., The Marvels) and Jeremy Strong (Fractured, Red Wolf: Wanderer) to its ensemble cast. One By One tells the story of a corporate retreat in the mountains cut off by an avalanche. John Krasinski is directing (and starring in) the film from an adaptation by Eden Townsend.

The Final Will: Keanu Reeves (The Emperor of Latium, Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer) is set for his first LRF dramatic role in The Final Will. He will play a military veteran compelled to reconnect with his old unit after one of their fellow comrade-in-arms comes down with a terminal illness. Joining Reeves as couple of his fellow veterans will be Walton Goggins (Blue Ridge, Bunker 17) and Jason Isaacs (Batman Beyond, Spawn 2: Payback). Darius Marder (Sound of Metal) directs the project from a script by Jimmy Ellis (Thorne, Task Force X: Jungleland).
