Hanks will play Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger, the pilot who managed to safely crash-land an aircraft on New York’s Hudson River.
Sully: Miracle on the Hudson will be released in the US on 9 September with a UK release following on 2 December.
Don’t go expecting that to change – one of his next roles arrives in Clint Eastwood’s biographical drama Sully which tells the real-life story of 2009’s Miracle on the Hudson.
Over the course of three decades, Tom Hanks has made a career out of playing nice guys (Road to Perdition aside, perhaps).
