Sources tell Nexus Point News that Jeremy Allen White is in talks to join the cast of Peaked with Molly Gordon. Details on White’s role in the film are currently undisclosed.

Gordon will direct based off a script written by her and Allie Levitan (Adults, Saturday Night Live). Gordon will produce with David Hinojosa and Zach Nutman for A24. Peaked will be Gordon’s second film as a director and first as a solo director. The film follows two women in their late-twenties, Bobby (Gordon) and Millie, who were once the most popular girls in their high school, but have now amounted to nothing. When they don’t receive an invite to their 10 year high school reunion, they plan to crash the reunion. Nexus Point News had exclusively reported that Elizabeth Olsen was attached to star in the film with Gordon as Millie, but due to the pick up of FX’s Seven Sisters, Olsen has exited the project.

Nexus Point News has reached out to A24 for comment.

White has an impressive year ahead of him as he will be starring in A24’s Enemies and Sony Pictures’ The Social Reckoning, as well as The Mandalorian Grogu. He also most recently starred in The Iron Claw and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere as Bruce Springsteen. On the television side, White is best known for his work on Shameless and The Bear, with the latter earning him two Emmy awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

Gordon made her directorial debut with Theater Camp which she also starred in. This past year she co-wrote and starred in Sophie Brook’s Oh, Hi! She’s best known for her roles in Life of the Party, Good Boys, Booksmart, Shiva Baby, Animal Kingdom, and The Bear which she stars in with White, who is also her boyfriend.
