A pair of Marvel alums are teaming up for a new sci-fi thriller, titled The Spacesuit. Vanessa Kirby (The Fantastic Four: First Steps) and Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts*) will star in the film from Australian writer/director Kitty Green. As much as I like both Kirby and Pullman, it’s Green that has caught my attention.
In The Spacesuit, Kirby plays an astronaut who must make an impossible decision after her co-pilot, played by Pullman, compromises the mission in the days leading up to liftoff.
This ticking clock thriller will be one of the hottest packages up for sale at Cannes next month.
Green is best known for her films The Assistant and The Royal Hotel, both starring Kirby’s Fantastic Four co-star, Julia Garner. Her movies are tightly wound and introspective, and I have no doubt The Spacesuit will be, too.
Coming up, Kirby and Pullman are confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday this December. [THR]
