Josh Brolin in Negotiations for Lead Role in 'Weapons'

The actor may step in for Pedro Pascal in Zach Cregger's anticipated horror epic, delayed due to industry strikes.

Josh Brolin is in talks to replace Pedro Pascal in Zach Cregger's new horror movie, 'Weapons', due to Pascal's scheduling conflicts with Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four'.
'Weapons' is described as a 'horror epic' and a multistory film, drawing comparisons to Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Magnolia'.
The movie's production was delayed from its original fall 2023 start date, largely due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Zach Cregger, known for 'Barbarian', has secured an eight-figure deal from New Line for 'Weapons', indicating high expectations for the project.
The cast for 'Weapons' includes notable names such as Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Lukas Cage, Megan Suri, and Harvey Guillén.
