Ari Aster's Scapegoat: a promising new cast announced
Scapegoat, Ari Aster's fifth film, brings together Scarlett Johansson, Jacob Elordi, Jude Law and fresh talent.
According to Screen Wide, Ari Aster's upcoming feature will be titled Scapegoat. The main cast includes Scarlett Johansson, who will soon appear in Paper Tiger and The Exorcist: Martyrs, as well as Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein version 2025, Wuthering Heights) and Jude Law (The Queen's Game, The Kremlin Mage).
The same article notes that new faces have joined the project: Ella Purnell, Caleb Landry Jones and Samba Schutte. The official synopsis has not been confirmed, but rumors suggest a surgeon, played by Johansson, targeted by fans after the death of a famous influencer operated on by her.
Screen Wide reminds that this fifth film follows the successes Hereditary and Midsommar, then the mixed reactions to Beau Is Afraid and the western Eddington, showing that Ari Aster has radicalized his approach, at the risk of dividing his audience.
