Fassbender is in the final stages of negotiations to star in the sports underdog drama, which re-teams Taika Waititi with Fox Searchlight.

Next Goal Wins is based on a 2014 British documentary of the same name, about the national soccer team of American Samoa. According to Variety, Waititi’s film will follow the true story of Dutch coach Thomas Rongen (Fassbender) who attempts to turn the underdog team’s fortunes around in time to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, after years of losses. 

Fassbender’s casting is the only one to be confirmed. It is, however, known that casting calls have gone out for actors to play the team members.

The Kiwi filmmaker will helm Next Goal Wins before taking on Marvel’s 4th Thor film, Love & Thunder. His latest feature Jojo Rabbit recently had its world premiered at Toronto.

The Wild Bunch remake hails from Mel Gibson for Warner Bros. who is financing and releasing. Gibson also co-wrote the script alongside Bryan Bagby. He will also executive produce the movie. Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to produce. 

The remake of the 1969 Western will retell the story of aging outlaws trying to live out the final days of the Wild West wanting to score one last time. The original starred William Holden and Ernest Borgnine and was nominated for Oscars for original screenplay and score.

This will be the first time Gibson steps behind the camera since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge. The feature earned Gibson an Oscar nom for Best Director and Best Picture, taking home two awards.

The reason is that the studio will be moving forward Bohemian Rhapsody, the Freddie Mercury biopic starring Rami Malek, best known for his role in Mr Robot. The biopic was previously scheduled for December 25th but will now debut on November 2nd.

Dexter Fletcher is directing Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer was fired from the show for three days of repeated absences which halted production. This firing isn’t the only setback that the movie has faced. Sacha Baron Cohen quit the project over disputes with Bryan May and Roger Taylor from Queen, hence why Malek took over.

The two Marvel spin-offs were actually originally scheduled to launch this year in April and November. The New Mutants has now been pushed all the way back to August 2nd 2019. The film is being directed by Josh Boone and stars a whole new set of young mutants.

Dark Phoenix has also been pushed back to 2019, but earlier in the year on Valentines Day. The movie will revolve around Jean Grey and Phoenix and will star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence among other popular names from the X-Men franchise.
