Pitt will also produce the Paramount Pictures film, which reunites him with director David Ayer, Deadline reports. The pair previously collaborated on the 2014 film Fury, set during World War II.

Paramount confirmed the casting by re-tweeting the news.

Pitt most recently starred with George Clooney in Wolfs, released in theaters and on Apple TV+ in September. That film was renewed for a sequel prior to the initial movie's release.

In June, Pitt will appear in F1, portraying an ex-Formula 1 driver.

A release date for Heart of the Beast has not yet been shared.
