The director's fifth film adds a promising new actor.

Cory Michael Smith, known for his role as the Riddler in Gotham, has just joined the cast of Scapegoat. The film, Ari Aster's fifth work, remains highly mysterious: some suggest a sci-fi romance, others a tribute to classic horror, while the most persistent rumors tie it to a spiritual sequel to Eddington. The plot would follow a surgeon targeted after the death of a famous influencer. The already announced cast included Scarlett Johansson, Jacob Elordi, Jude Law, Ella Purnell, Caleb Landry Jones and Samba Schutte. According to Screen Wide, Smith's addition strengthens an already impressive ensemble.
