Kevin Spacey has formally exited his lead role in the forthcoming film 1242: Gateway to the West, ahead of his UK trial date scheduled for 6 June 2023.

The House of Cards actor was set to star in the historical drama, as a spiritual man who attempts to stop Genghis Khan’s invasion of Europe.

However, with Spacey’s ongoing UK trial – for which he pleaded not guilty to four charges of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent – the movie’s producer Bill Chamberlain told Variety that his role has been recast.

A new lead has yet to be revealed, but negotiations are currently underway. Directed by Péter Soós, Gateway to the West is scheduled to begin two months of filming on 17 October.
