#Ethan Hawke Joins Julia Roberts In Netflix’s Leave The World Behind

Hawke, seen at the top of the article in Robert Eggers’ upcoming period epic “The Northman,” has found plenty of work during the pandemic. On top of “Knives Out 2” and the recently wrapped “Moon Knight” series for Marvel, the actor can be seen in the rare turn as a villain in “The Black Phone,” a tense thriller from frequent collaborators Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill (“Sinister,” “Doctor Strange”). In it, Hawke plays a figure known to locals as The Grabber, a masked child killer. With the help of a jarring mask (designed by fx giant Tom Savini) sporting a Cheshire grin, the “Training Day” star maintains an eerie, silent threat throughout the film, making it a shame that Hawke doesn’t play the baddie more often.

Herrold has gained recent attention following her breakout performance in Mickey Down and Konrad Kay’s hit HBO/BBC Two series “Industry,” in which Herrold plays the ambitious New York banking executive Harper Stern. Next up for Herrold is Halina Reijn’s upcoming A24 slasher, “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” which she stars in alongside Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Pete Davidson, and Lee Pace.
