Adam Driver is in talks to join The Last Duel. 

Should the Star Wars actor board the project he is set to star opposite Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Killing Eve star Jodie Comer. 

Ridley Scott is directing the epic tale set in 14th century France from a screenplay adaptation by Damon and Ben Affleck with Nicole Holofcener. 

The film, a story of betrayal and justice, is told from three points of view — two knights (Driver and Damon) whose bond is tested and a young woman (Comer), is forced to navigate the brutal and oppressive culture of the era in order to survive.

Should Disney and Fox green light the period drama, it should begin production in early 2020.
