Is Chris Pratt no longer in demand? How else can his replacement in Taylor Sheridan's new film be explained? The filmmakers are seeking a younger actor.
The Taylor Sheridan thriller Fast has been making headlines since 2018, when it was first announced with Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt attached to star. However, as time passed, plans shifted, and now Sheridan, along with his production partner Warner Bros., are looking to cast a younger, up-and-coming talent to take over Pratt’s lead role. According to The Direct that is Brandon Sklenar, known for his role in 1923 within the extended Yellowstone universe. The actor has been making headlines recently, especially due to his role in the controversial film It Ends With Us.
The thing is, Brandon Sklenar became caught in controversy due to the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni during the promotion of It Ends With Us. Despite trying to remain neutral, the media attention has put him in an uncomfortable position. Sklenar has focused on promoting the film’s positive themes while avoiding taking sides.
As of now, Taylor Sheridan's action-thriller Fast is in pre-production, with no official release date confirmed. The film still lacks finalized production details and casting.
