Nicolas Cage and Bill Skarsgård are set to star in Lords of War, a sequel to the 2005 crime thriller Lord of War.
Andrew Niccol returns to write and direct, with Cage reprising his role as Yuri Orlov, and Skarsgård signed on to play his son. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel follows Orlov as he discovers that he has a son, Anton, who "is trying to top his father's wrongs rather than stop them as he launches a mercenary army to fight America's Middle East conflicts."
"There is so much more to explore with these characters. Plato said it best – 'Only the dead have seen the end of war.' I'm looking forward to spending more time in the company of the charming devil that is Yuri Orlov and now his illegitimate son – who turns out to not be legitimate in any way," Niccol said in a statement.
Cage can currently be seen starring as Count Dracula in Chris McKay's Renfield, while Skarsgård recently starred in John Wick 4 alongside Keanu Reeves.
