Emmy nominee Vincent D’Onofrio has been tapped to join the Caught Stealing cast for Sony Pictures’ upcoming crime thriller, which hails from director Darren Aronofsky.
D’Onofrio is set play one of the supporting roles in the movie. However, further details about his character have remained under wraps. His casting comes ahead of his highly-anticipated return as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in Marvel Studios’ Daredevil: Born Again revival, which will reunite his villainous character with Charlie Cox’s titular hero. The series is expected to make its debut in March 2025.
Who is in the Caught Stealing cast?
The Caught Stealing cast will be led by Austin Butler (Elvis, Dune: Part Two), who will be playing a burned-out retired baseball player named Hank Thompson. He will be joined by a star-studded cast consisting of Zoë Kravitz (The Batman), Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk), Matt Smith (The Crown), Liev Schreiber, Bad Bunny, and more. The film will be directed and produced by Aronofsky from a screenplay written by Charlie Huston, based on his 2004 novel of the same name. It is produced by Ari Handel’s Protozoa.
The book’s official synopsis reads, “Henry ‘call me Hank’ Thompson used to play California baseball. Now he tends to a bar on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. When two Russians in tracksuits beat Hank to a pulp, he gets the clue: someone wants something from him. He just doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn’t have it. Within twenty-four hours, Hank is running over rooftops, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of some Russian hoods and a flat-out freakshow of goons. All because once, in another life, the only thing Hank wanted to steal was third base—without getting caught.”
