The film also stars Charlie Plummer and Cliff "Method Man" Smith, further enriching a cast that balances emerging performers with established screen presence.
While details about Schmidt's role are being kept under wraps, the actor will appear as one of Jolie's two sons, alongside Plummer. The casting marks a notable reunion of sorts for Schmidt, who previously originated the role of Sodapop in "The Outsiders", the Tony Award-winning stage musical produced by Jolie, reports DEADLINE.
