As shooting starts, Connor Swindells, Daniel Webber, Wayne Blair, Dan Wyllie, Lindsay Duncan, Allan Corduner, Sofia Tjelta Sydness, Erin Ainsworth, Myles Kamwendo, Sanna Sundqvist and Tea Stjärne, and Swedish artist Benjamin Ingrosso have also been revealed as being part of the cast. The project will mark Östlund’s second English-language film and seventh feature after The Guitar Mongoloid(2004), Involuntary(2008), Play(2011), Force Majeure(2014), and his two Palme d’Or winners, The Square(2017) and Triangle of Sadness(2022).
