One of the biggest Netflix films on the slate just got yet another major update. A new report from Deadline revealed that Jason Clarke has joined the cast of Kathryn Bigelow's untitled action thriller at Netflix. Clarke is best known for his roles in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Zero Dark Thirty, and is fresh off a strong appearance in Oppenheimer, and also recently played Jerry West in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, the sports docudrama which was axed at HBO after two seasons. Details about Clarke's role in the film and the project at large are being kept under wraps, but Deadline reports that it will be set at the White House as a national crisis unfolds. Bigelow most recently teamed up with Anthony Mackie and John Boyega for Detroit, the 2017 true crime thriller that is currently streaming on Prime Video.
