The Sopranos prequel movie casts Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Corey Stoll and Billy Magnussen

January 16, 2019 by Gary Collinson

New Line Cinema is filling out the cast of The Many Saints of Newark, with Jon Bernthal (The Punisher) Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring), Corey Stoll (The Strain) and Billy Magnussen (Game Night) joining the 1960s-set The Sopranos prequel movie alongside the previously announced Alessandro Nivola (Disobedience).

Details on the new additions’ characters are being kept tightly under wraps, and all we know so far is that Nivola is playing Dickie Moltisanti, the uncle of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and father of Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli), who along with Tony’s father Giovanni ‘Johnny Boy’ Soprano and Corrado ‘Junior’ Soprano – was key figure in helping to turn their small gang into a successful crime family.
