Jacob Elordi in Talks for Ari Aster's Scapegoat

Jacob Elordi is reportedly in negotiations to co-star alongside Scarlett Johansson in Ari Aster's forthcoming thriller, 'Scapegoat,' distributed by A24. Aster, who has previously collaborated with A24 on his last four films, will direct from his own script.

Details surrounding the plot of 'Scapegoat' remain scarce, with insider speculation ranging from a science-fiction romance to a traditional drama. Aster and Lars Knudsen are producing through their Square Peg banner.

This project represents a potential follow-up for Elordi after a period of rest, following his critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated role in 'Frankenstein.' The actor has reportedly been weighing numerous offers after a demanding production schedule.

Johansson was previously attached to star in the project. If Elordi's deal closes, principal photography for 'Scapegoat' is anticipated to begin later this year.

Elordi's recent work includes the film 'Wuthering Heights' and a return to the series 'Euphoria.' He is also slated to appear in Ridley Scott's action thriller 'The Dog Stars.'
