Sebastian Stan Joins “Logan Lucky”

 

For a film director that continually flirts with the idea of an early retirement, Steven Soderbergh certainly hasn’t lost his ability to attract a star-studded cast. His latest, a NASCAR heist drama known as Logan Lucky, has just added Sebastian Stan to its stacked ensemble.

Just in time, too, considering that Soderbergh’s feature is already in active production in Atlanta, where Stan will join Daniel Craig, Channing Tatum, Hilary Swank, Katherine Heigl, Adam Driver, Seth MacFarlane, Riley Keough and Katherine Waterston for a pulse-pounding story revolving around two brothers out to stage a daring heist during one of the biggest NASCAR events on the sporting calendar.

As for Stan’s role in Logan Lucky, we hear that the MCU stalwart is attached to the part of a three-time Sprint Cup Champion NASCAR driver who is aiming to make a big splash following some time away from the race tracks. Beyond that, little is known about how Soderbergh will arrange his enviable ensemble, but set photos emerging from Atlanta do offer an early peek at Daniel Craig in costume, replete with peroxide hair and tattoos – less 007 and more scruffy con man with one eye trained on the loot.

Logan Lucky is being angled for theatrical release in 2017.
