Jennifer Jason Leigh (“Hateful Eight,” “Fargo”), Nick Nolte (“Warrior,” “Graves”), Tate Donovan (“The Holdovers,” “Ghosted”), Babak Tafti (“Billions,” “Superpumped”), Payman Maadi (“The Night Of,” “The Opponent”), Deborah Hedwall (“Mare of Easttown,” “Homeland”), Devon Bostick (“Oppenheimer,” “Fargo”), Paul Adelstein (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” “Agatha All Along”), Drew Powell (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” “Unbreakable Boy”) and Matthew Del Negro (“Mayor of Kingstown,” “City on a Hill”) have boarded the upcoming crime thriller, which will be released in theaters.
They join previously announced cast members Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins and Halle Berry.
