If his upcoming credits prove just as successful as Baby Driver, Elgort is well on his way to achieving leading man status.
Ansel Elgort has been tapped to play young president John F. Kennedy in Mayday 109, a biopic about JFK’s time as a Navy captain during World War II.
The news comes just as the actor prepares to open the Edgar Wright-directed action flick Baby Driver, in which he stars as the titular getaway driver, Baby.
Elgort and Emily Gerson Saines will produce alongside Iwanyk and Beau Flynn, whose Thunder Road Pictures and FlynnPictureCo are co-producing the project.
