A third movie is set for Josh Brolin and Jeremy Renner.
The two actors' last collaboration was in Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, in which Brolin plays Monsignor Jefferson Wicks and Renner plays congregant Nat Sharp. Prior to that, they were in two Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Age of Ultron, with Brolin as Thanos and Renner as Hawkeye/Clint Barton, although the villain only appeared in Age of Ultron's post-credits scene.
Deadline now reports that Brolin and Renner have been cast in A Speck in the Sea, a survival thriller directed by Orlando von Einsiedel. The film is based on the true story of Montauk lobster fisherman Johnny Aldrige (Brolin), who in 2013 fell off his fishing boat and into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean during the middle of the night.
Johnny's best friend and fishing partner, Anthony Sosinski (Renner), is asleep below deck when this happens, and sparks a multi-state rescue operation after waking to discover that his friend is missing, all while Johnny fights to stay alive in the ocean waters.
