    LOS ANGELES: “The Old Guard” star Marwan Kenzari and “Love” actor Gillian Jacobs have teamed up for romantic comedy “Any Other Night”.

    The Berlin-set movie will be helmed by Dutch filmmaker Michiel Ten Horn from a script penned by Patrick Whistler, reported Variety.

    The story is about two strangers thrown together as their lives are falling apart.

    Freshly dumped Maggie (Jacobs) and flailing cab driver Max (Kenzari) meet the night of a crippling transit strike, with the latter loading all of Maggie’s worldly possessions into the back of his decrepit van-cab.

    What should have been a simple fare becomes a wild, late-night odyssey.

    “Any Other Night” will be produced by Mike MacMillan of Lithium Studios, and Sol Bondy of One Two Films.

    Todd Brown will serve as executive producer.

    Kenzari, who broke out with his role of Jafar in Disney’s live-action musical “Aladdin”, most recently featured in Charlize Theron-starrer “The Old Guard”.

    He is currently working on Dwayne Johnson’s “Black Adam” movie.

    Jacobs is best known for her performances in shows such as “Community” and Judd Apatow’s “Love” at Netflix.

    Her upcoming films include “Fear Street” trilogy at Netflix and “Violence of Action”, co-starring Chris Pine and Ben Foster.

    LOS ANGELES: “The Old Guard” star Marwan Kenzari is in negotiations to board Dwayne Johnson-led antihero movie “Black Adam”.

    The film is a spin-off to Warner Bros and New Line Cinema’s “Shazam!” that featured actor Zachary Levi as the titular superhero.

    If finalised, Kenzari will join Johnson, Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge and Quintessa Swindell in the cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed Johnson opposite Emily Blunt in Disney’s upcoming “Jungle Cruise”, is attached to helm the new film.

    Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani wrote the latest draft of the script, from a previous draft by Adam Sztykiel.

    Johnson is also producing with Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia through their Seven Bucks Productions, and Beau Flynn through FlynnPictureCo.

    The project will start production in April in Atlanta, Georgia.

    Kenzari broke out after featuring as Jafar in Disney’s 2019 live-action movie “Aladdin”.

    His film credits also include Tom Cruise-starrer “The Mummy” and Kenneth Branagh’s “Murder on the Orient Express”.

    The actor most recently starred in Netflix hit “The Old Guard”, alongside Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
