Harbour had been set to star opposite Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Matthew Lillard, Margarita Levieva, and Alexa Swinton, with production on the film kicking off in Los Angeles back in October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHarbour is of course coming off an intensive press tour for the fifth and final season of Netflix\u2019s Stranger Things, which rolled out in three installments over the holidays and closed out on New Year\u2019s Eve. Already, Season 5 stands alone as Netflix\u2019s ninth most popular English-language series of all time with over 105 million views and counting. Harbour has also taken on a lot of late on the production front, between the HBO dark comedy DTF St. Louis with Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini and Richard Jenkins, and Evil Genius, the Courteney Cox-helmed true crime thriller where he stars opposite Patricia Arquette. Upcoming, he\u2019ll also be seen reprising his Thunderbolts* role of Red Guardian in Avengers: Doomsday, and in Universal\u2019s Violent Night 2, where he reprises as a Santa Claus not opposed to violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSearchlight has kept Behemoth!\u2018s logline under wraps, though it\u2019s understood that the film revolves around a cellist. Gilroy is directing from his own script and producing the film alongside Sanne Wohlenberg and John Gilroy (Andor).
