Henry Jackman (X-Men: First Class, Wreck-It-Ralph, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Kong: Skull Island) is is set to reteam with directors Anthony & Joe Russo (Avengers: Infinity War & Endgame) on the upcoming drama Cherry. The film’s cast includes Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Jack Reynor, Forrest Goodluck, Ciara Bravo, Jeff Wahlberg, Michael Gandolfini and Kyle Harvey. The movie is based on Nico Walker’s New York Times bestselling novel and tells the true story of the author, a former Army medic who returned from Iraq with extreme undiagnosed PTSD and fell into an opioid addiction and began robbing banks. Jessica Goldberg (The Path) has adapted the material for the screen. The directors are also producing the Hideaway Entertainment and AGBO Films production with Chris Castaldi, Mike Larocca (The Drop), Jonathan Gray and Matthew Rhodes (Southland Tales). Jackman has previously scored the Russo Brothers’ directorial efforts Captain America: The Winter Solider & Civil War, as well as 21 Bridges (with Alex Belcher) and Mosul, which they produced. Cherry is expected to premiere later this year.
Jackman also has the Russo-produced Netflix movie Out of the Fire (also co-scored with Alex Belcher) starring Chris Hemsworth coming up. The composer has also recently scored Jake Kasdan’s Jumanji: The Next Level, which is currently playing in theaters, as well as Nate Parker’s American Skin, which premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival and is currently awaiting a domestic distribution deal.
