Adam McKay is no stranger to rounding out a star-studded cast for his project, and his next film will be no exception. Robert Pattinson and Amy Adams are two of the Hollywood A-listers eying roles in McKay’s next film Average Height, Average Build.

Average Height, Average Build will center on a serial killer (Pattinson), who hires a star lobbyist (Adams) to help him get away with murder by changing the laws around them. Given McKay’s filmography so far, which includes such films as Don’t Look Up and The Big Short, we’re expecting this film to give us a satirical look at the current state of the world.

Average Height, Average Build also stars Robert Downey Jr. as a retired cop who won’t give up on the murders. He’ll be joined by the Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and Till‘s Danielle Deadwyler, while the rest of the cast will be announced before production kicks off later this year.

Adams previously starred in McKay’s Oscar-nominated political satire Vice alongside Christian Bale and received another supporting actress nod for her performance. Pattinson, who most recently starred in The Batman is a newcomer to McKay’s world, and we’ll soon get to see him in Bong Joon Ho’s next film Mickey 17.
