The film is directed by Joachim Rønning, who has directed «Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales» and «Maleficent: Mistress of Evil» for Disney after his breakthrough with «Kon-Tiki» in 2012. In addition to Leto, the cast includes Greta Lee («The Morning Show»), Evan Peters («Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story»), Hassan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson.
Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne wrote the screenplay, while Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Leto, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger produced with Russell Allen as executive producer. The film is scheduled for release in 2025.
