Scott has completed production on the drama The Last Duel, starring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Adam Driver, and Jodie Comer.
Academy Award winner Joaquin Phoenix (Joker, Gladiator) is set to play Napoleon Bonaparte in Oscar nominee Ridley Scott’s (Gladiator, The Martian) upcoming biopic Kitbag based on the 19th-century French emperor, according to Deadline.
He’ll begin production next March in Italy on Gucci, starring Lady Gaga, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Adam Driver, and Jared Leto.
The outlet shares the film’s title stems from the saying, “There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.”
