Weapons Cast: Benedict Wong & More Join New Line Cinema’s Horror Thriller
According to Deadline, Marvel vet Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange, 3 Body Problem), Oscar nominee Amy Madigan (Twice in a Lifetime, Antlers), and Austin Abrams (Euphoria, Dash & Lily) have been cast in the upcoming horror thriller Weapons, which hails from New Line Cinema.
In addition, Daytime Emmy nominee Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives) has also been tapped to join previously announced lead stars Josh Brolin (Deadpool 2), Julia Garner (Ozark), and Alden Ehrenreich (Oppenheimer). At the moment, the film currently has no release date or official synopsis yet.
Who’s involved in Weapons?
Weapons will be written and directed by Zach Cregger, who’s best known for 2022’s Barbarian, which served as his feature directorial debut. Further details about its story and characters are still being kept under wraps, but it is being described as “an interrelated, multistory horror epic” that is tonally being likened to Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1999 film Magnolia. It is produced by Cregger, Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz, and Raphael Margules.
Before Brolin’s casting, Pedro Pascal was originally going to lead the project. However, due to last year’s strikes, its scheduled production was ultimately delayed which led to scheduling conflicts with Pascal’s other high-profile projects such as The Fantastic Four and The Last of Us Season 2.
