Darren Aronofsky is an actor's filmmaker. He knows how to get his cast members nominated for Oscars, and in two instances, he has secured wins for them (Natalie Portman and Brendan Fraser). This is partially what makes his upcoming film so exciting.
The filmmaker has confirmed thatCaught Stealingwill be his next venture. The thriller will be set in 1990s New York, and revolve around an ex-baseball player who plunges into the criminal underworld in a manic fight for survival. It's a great premise, and one that seems ideally suited to Aronofsky's very specific brand of psychological exploration.
Austin Butler will headline the star-studded film
The cast is staggering. Aronofsky consistently lands A-list talent, but he's decided to pivot to a mixture of newcomers and veterans forCaught Stealing. In an effort to bring more attention to the Sony thriller, we wanted to run through the cast and help build hype for what's sure to be one of the most buzzed about films of 2025.
Austin Butlerwill be playing the aforementioned former athlete. The actor is one of the most promising young stars in Hollywood, as evidenced by his Oscar-nominated performance inElvis(2022) and his scene-stealing turn inDune: Part Two(2024).
The rest of the main cast includesZoe Kravitz,Matt SmithandRegina King. All three actors have had exemplary decades, thanks to their ability to alternate between indies and blockbuster releases. Kravitz recently made her directorial debut withBlink Twice, while Smith continues to be a standout onHouse of the Dragon.
Bad Bunny will play a sizable supporting role
BadBunnywill also be playing a crucial role inCaught Stealing. The music superstar has dabbled in film and TV, courtesy ofBullet Train(2022) andNarcos: Mexico(2021). The rest of the ensemble,perDeadline, will rely on veteran character actors like Griffin Dune, Liev Schreiber, and Vincent D'Onofro.
Dune is best known for his role inAfter Hours(1985), another film about a man falling down the rabbit hole of New York, while D'Onofrio is perhaps best known for portraying Hell's Kitchen kingpin Carlton Fisk in the MCU.
A release date forCaught Stealinghas not yet been announced, but if this doesn't qualify as an anticipated 2025 film, we don't know what will.
