A new report from Variety revealed that Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, Riley Keough, and Channing Tatum have all joined the cast of Alpha Gang, Blanchett’s upcoming alien invasion comedy in the works at MK2 Films. The film follows a group of alien invaders who are sent to conquer Earth and disguise themselves as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang.

Tatum starred in Kravitz’ directorial debut and also made his comic book movie debut playing Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. Seydoux made a name for herself playing Madeleine in Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies, and she also recently played the small role of Lady Margot Fenring in Dune: Part Two. Keough is known for her roles in Mad Max: Fury Road and Logan Lucky, and she also recently broke out further playing Daisy Jones in Daisy Jones & The Six.
Who Is Writing and Directing ‘Alpha Gang’?
David Zellner wrote the script for Alpha Gang, and will also co-direct the film along with Nathan Zellner. The Zellner brothers most recently directed Sasquatch Sunset, the adventure comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough, and they also helmed Damsel, the 2018 western starring Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska. The duo also directed several episodes of The Curse, the Showtime series on Paramount+ starring Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder, and Benny Safdie.
