Mustafa Shakir, Cam Gigandet, André Eriksen, Lio Tipton, and Marshawn Lynch have joined the rest of the cast for 87 North's action movie 'With Love' for Universal Pictures. The company announced this on Friday.
They are joining Oscar winner Ariana DeBose and Daniel Wu in the project.
Universal is set to release 'With Love' on Feb. 7, 2025.
The 87North project marks the former child star’s first leading film role after winning the Oscar for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and will be directed by Jonathan Eusebio (second unit director “Deadpool 2,” “Violent Night”) in his theatrical feature film directorial debut.
David Leitch and Kelly McCormick will produce through their 87North (“Bullet Train,” “Violent Night” and the upcoming “The Fall Guy”) banner.
'With Love' is written by Josh Stoddard, Luke Passmore, and Matthew Murray. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Quan has a background as a martial artist, so expect elevated fight choreography in the movie. Universal’s Executive Vice President of Production Development Jay Polidoro and Director of Production Development Tony Ducret will oversee the project on behalf of the studio.
