THR is reporting that Beauty and the Beast star Dan Stevens is set to reteam with Legion creator Noah Hawley on the upcoming sci-fi drama Pale Blue Dot, where he’ll join a cast that includes Natalie Portman (Annihilation), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2) and Jon Hamm (Baby Driver).
Pale Blue Dot has been scripted by Brian C. Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi and sees Portman taking on the role of a successful female astronaut who, after coming back home from a mission in space, starts to unravel when confronted by her seemingly perfect life. Stevens will play Portman’s husband, with Hamm and Beetz as fellow astronauts.
Stevens is currently appearing in the second season of FX’s X-Men series Legion, and has The Raid director Gareth Evans’ hotly-anticipated next project Apostle incoming this September on Netflix.
