The actor is in negotiations to star in Steven Spielberg’s new film, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, Variety reported on Friday.
Though he missed out on an Emmy nomination for his role in Show Me a Hero, Oscar Isaac has plenty to celebrate.
The Star Wars actor would star alongside Mark Rylance, who featured in Spielberg’s recent The BFG, Bridge of Spies and his forthcoming Ready Player One.
The film will be adapted from historian David Kertzer’s book of the same name.
