Heist Society: The YA heist comedy novel adaptation from director James Gunn and writer Dawson Edwards is rounding out its cast with the additions of Jack Dylan Grazer (Written By Jason, Love Is...), Walton Goggins (Joker vs. Deadshot, The Vintner), and Giancarlo Esposito (Justice League War, Baby Teeth) in supporting roles. The film is based on the book series by Ally Carter.

Convalescence: Also completing its cast is the drama Convalescene. The film follows two recovering alcoholics - played by Toby Wallace and Clayne Crawford. Judy Davis (Nitram, The Dressmaker) has been cast as Crawford's mother in the film, while Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners, "Loki") will play Crawford's parole officer. Robert Machoian is directing from an original script by Jimmy Ellis.

Robopocalypse: Everly Carganilla (Spy Kids: Armageddon, Yes Day) has joined the big-budget sci-fi flick Robopocalypse in a major role as a young girl who receives robotic eyes that allow her to see and control robots. Morena Baccarin (Resident Evil 5, Winter's Displeasure) and Adam Rodriguez ("Criminal Minds", Magic Mike's Last Dance) have also joined the film as her parents. Gareth Edwards directs from an adaptation by Nic Suzuki. The film is based on the novel by Daniel H. Wilson.

Test of Time: Asher Angel (Power Rangers, Final End) is set to join his Power Rangers co-star Wyatt Oleff in Test of Time, a coming of age high school story from director Josh Boone and writer Billy Cruder, Emma Myers (A Minecraft Movie, "Wednesday") and Brighton Sharbino (An Irish Rendezvous, Strawberry High) have also signed on to join the ensemble cast.

Blood Brothers: Aldis Hodge (Fractus, The Champ) and Jharrel Jerome (Hideaway, Tomato Can) are set for the two starring (and only) roles in Blood Brothers. Based on the play Topdog/Underdog, the film will tell the story of two brothers sharing a small apartment, which becomes part of a contentious relationship. Elijah Bynum (Hot Summer Nights, Magazine Dreams) is directing the film from an adaptation by Giovanni Garcia (The Flash, Circumstances of Time) - his first film with LRF since Season 18.

X-Men: Age of Apocalypse: Several familiar faces are all returning for another X-Men film. Now we at least know that Jamie Dornan (X-Men: Hellfire, Northrock: Verge of War) is back as Cyclops, Toby Stephens (X-Men: Sinister, X-Men: Hellfire) is back as Xavier, David Oyelowo (Mandingos, X-Men: The Cure) is back as Beast, Jessie Buckley (Recursion, X-Men: Hellfire) is back as Jean Grey, and Millie Bobby Brown (Power Rangers, Written By Jason) is back as Kitty Pryde.
