Actor Nicholas Hoult (X-Men, Renfield, Superman) has signed on to star in a bank heist movie for Amazon MGM Studios, with David Leitch (Bullet Train, The Fall Guy) set to direct. The untitled action thriller will be released in theaters from a script by Mark Bianculli (Cliffhanger, Hunters).

Plot details are being kept under wraps but given Leitch’s track record of delivering on big thrills and fun set pieces, we can expect something similar in scope. 87North’s Kelly McCormick and Leitch will produce alongside Imagine’s Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Allan Mandelbaum.

The project has gained a ton of momentum in recent weeks after Leitch and McCormick boarded the project at the top of the year.

Once the package hit the market, it wasn’t long before Amazon moved in to land the rights and the project soon began attracting high-profile talent with Hoult recently signing on to star with the plan to shoot later this summer.

Hoult will next be seen as Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman this summer.
