While we are far from official casting, it is possible that James Mangold is looking at Matt Damon for Carroll Shelby and Christian Bale for Ken Miles.
Henry Ford II enlisted a team of engineers and designers, led by Carroll Shelby and British driver Ken Miles, to build an entirely new car that could unseat Ferrari from its throne.
According to Variety, James Mangold is developing this project alongside screenwriters Jez and John-Henry Butterworth.
The film will focus on the true story of Ford’s attempt to build a car capable of defeating perennial powerhouse Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans World Championship.
