Jude Law is the next star to step into one of Ari Aster's nightmares

Ari Aster, known for his terrifying and unsettling films such as Hereditary and Eddington, has cast Jude Law in his upcoming project, Scapegoat, according to The Wrap. The details surrounding the movie remain sparse, with only the casting announcements making headlines. Rumors suggest that the film may revolve around a surgeon who unintentionally kills an internet celebrity during surgery and must face the repercussions.

The primary cast for Scapegoat also includes Scarlett Johansson and Jacob Elordi. Law's career has seen a blend of television and film roles in recent years, ranging from Netflix's Black Rabbit and Star Wars series Skeleton Crew to a role as Vladimir Putin in Olivier Assayas' The Wizard Of The Kremlin. Despite the lack of information about his specific role in Scapegoat, Law's diverse acting abilities, ranging from empathetic roles to malevolent characters, make him a fitting choice for Aster's emotionally charged narrative.
