Magazine Dreams director Elijah Bynum is lining up in an insanely stacked cast for his next film, My Darling California. Deadline reports the star-studded ensemble has added Chris Evans, who takes over for Josh Brolin, who exited the project due to scheduling conflicts.
Evans joins Jessica Chastain, Chris Pine, Mikey Madison, Don Cheadle, and Charles Melton in the film set in 1980 Los Angeles. The crime thriller “will chart how a single crime weaves together the lives of a TV host, his restless wife, a country music idol, two small-time crooks and an ex-con, all of whom are chasing the promise of a better life.”
Filming is expected to begin in in late summer or September.
Bynum wrote the script and will direct, with the film expected to be a major package on the Cannes market next month.
Evans was last seen in Celine Song’s rom-com, Materialists. He’ll reprise his role as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday later this year.
