Adrien Brody is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents following his second Best Actor Oscar win on Sunday night. His remarkable performance in The Brutalist has solidified his place in an elite group of actors with multiple Academy Awards, and the speculation about his next move is already intensifying.
It’s no surprise that Brody is already in talks for several major projects in the wake of his Oscar win. His name has been linked to numerous roles since the start of the year, and one project that stands out is Evel Knievel on Tour, a film that has been under discussion between Leonardo DiCaprio and Damien Chazelle for some time. DiCaprio, who had originally approached Chazelle with a prison drama idea at Paramount, later suggested a biopic about the legendary stuntman, a project that has slowly gained traction. With Chazelle now working on the script and DiCaprio showing interest in starring, Brody is said to be a strong contender for a key role, though a deal is yet to be finalized.
Interestingly, there’s also chatter that Jeremy Allen White could be in the running for a part in the Evel Knievel project. Fresh off his success with The Bear, White’s rising star and dynamic presence have made him a potential fit for the film, though his involvement is still speculative at this stage. As more details unfold, it will be fascinating to see how the casting shakes out.
