Based on the novel of the same name by Mark Burnell, The Rhythm Section is produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

There’s no word yet as to who Brown will be playing but the announcement of his casting coincides with production resuming on the movie. It had been temporarily halted after Lively was injured on the set.

Brown has also been picking up plenty of awards taking home Critics’ Choice Television Awards in 2016 and 2018, a Golden Globe for Best Performance in a Television Series ā€“ Drama for This is Us this year, and Primetime Emmy Awards in 206 and 2017.

The Rhythm Section will be released on 22nd February 2019.
