Joel Edgerton (The Gift, The Great Gatsby) will join Timothee Chalamet (Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name) in the new royal Netflix drama, The King, according to Variety.
Chalamet will play the young prince who becomes King Henry V of England, and Edgerton will play his close friend Falstaff.
Since the film is reportedly a modern-day adaptation, it will be interesting to see what Edgerton and Michod have dreamt up for The King, whose plot is currently unknown.
