Pete Davidson is in negotiations to co-star opposite Nicholas Hoult in Amazon MGM Studios’ How to Rob a Bank, from director David Leitch, Imagine Entertainment, and 87North Productions. Leitch is directing with insiders saying the the film will be released in theaters.
Plot details are being kept under wraps but given Leitch’s track record of delivering on big thrills and fun set pieces in films like Bullet Train, Deadpool 2 and most recently The Fall Guy, expect something similar in scope. 87North’s Kelly McCormick and David Leitch will produce alongside Imagine’s Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Allan Mandelbaum. Mark Bianculli wrote the script, for which plot details are being kept under wraps, and will executive produce.
Leitch films always tend to draw top talent and this film is no different with an A-list ensemble expected to join the cast.
Davidson most recently wrapped production on the film The Pick Up for Amazon MGM where he stars opposite Keke Palmer and Eddie Murphy, and can be seen next in A24’s Wizards. In 2023, Davidson starred in Peacock’s Bupkis, a semi-autobiographical comedy series he also co-created, co-wrote and executive produced.
In 2020, Davidson co-wrote, executive produced, and starred in the critically acclaimed film The King of Staten Island. Additional credits include the Netflix stand-up comedy special, Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli, Bodies Bodies Bodies for A24, The Suicide Squad for Warner Bros’ DC, Paramount’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Trainwreck, Neon’s Big Time Adolescence, Netflix’s Set It Up, and Peacock’s Meet Cute. Davidson was a cast member on NBC’s Saturday Night Live from 2014-2022.
