"The Bikeriders" Cast
As of 4 Aug, three heavyweight actors have been confirmed to star in the upcoming film, according to Deadline: Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, and Austin Butler.
It's been quite the year for Comer already. Fresh from her Emmy nomination for "Killing Eve", she blew audiences away with her performance in the National Theatre's one-woman play "Prima Facie". The play was broadcast across cinemas and has become the highest-grossing release in UK cinemas since the pandemic. Comer is taking it to Broadway next spring. She also won the leading actress BAFTA in May for her role in Channel 4's "Help". She is also starring in apocalyptic thriller "The End We Start From", produced by Benedict Cumberbatch, with production starting this month.
We already know that Hardy will be starring in "Venom 3", which is in preproduction, but we are looking forward to seeing him without the terrifying costume. After stellar performances in "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and as Alfie Solomons in "Peaky Blinders", we can already imagine Hardy in biker leathers.
It would have been harder to miss the news of Butler's breakout role as the lead in "Elvis". With rave reviews, Butler wowed critics with his all-encompassing character as his star continues to rise. He is also appearing in "Dune: Part Two", due for release in October 2023.
