Andor Creator Eyes Crossover: Stranger Things and Star Wars Stars Could Join Forces in Next Film
Stranger Things star David Harbour is reportedly circling Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth, reuniting with Avengers: Doomsday costar Pedro Pascal. The high-voltage team-up would hit as Harbour readies his Hawkins farewell, though the deal isn’t locked yet.
Two very busy schedules might collide in a very specific way: David Harbour is circling Tony Gilroy's next movie, 'Behemoth!', where Pedro Pascal is already attached. If that pairing sounds familiar, it's because they are also set to cross paths in 'Avengers: Doomsday'. Nothing is signed yet, but the chatter is loud for a reason.
What 'Behemoth!' actually is (so far)
Per Deadline, Harbour is in talks to join Gilroy's film at Searchlight Pictures. Plot is locked down tighter than a Lucasfilm spoiler vault, but the logline floating around is wonderfully strange: it centers on a cellist. That's all we get for now. Production is aiming to start this fall in Los Angeles.
This one matters for another reason: it's Gilroy's first movie as both writer and director since 'The Bourne Legacy' in 2012. He is producing alongside Sanne Wohlenberg, with Damian Garcia handling cinematography. Yes, the exclamation point in the title is doing a lot of work.
Why fans care about this team-up
Harbour and Pascal already have a big Marvel date on the books with 'Avengers: Doomsday', so the idea of them sharing the screen twice in short order is catnip for casting nerds. Also, Gilroy is the brain behind 'Andor', so you have the Stranger Things crowd potentially colliding with the Star Wars faithful. Expect Reddit threads.
Where both stars are at right now
- David Harbour: Wrapping up his run as Jim Hopper with 'Stranger Things' Season 5, which premieres later this year. He recently finished the HBO limited series 'DTF St. Louis', will suit back up as Red Guardian in 'Avengers: Doomsday', and is returning for the sequel to Universal's 'Violent Night'. He is represented by WME and Sloan Offer Weber.
- Pedro Pascal: 2025 is stacked with 'The Materialists', 'The Last of Us' Season 2, 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps', and 'Eddington'. He has been attached to 'Behemoth!' for several months.
What to watch for next
Harbour's deal is still being negotiated, so pencil him in, not pen. Cameras are expected to roll in Los Angeles this fall if everything holds. The project first bubbled up via Disheeta Maheshwari at SuperHeroHype, and Deadline backed the Harbour talks.
Translation: this one is real, just not official yet. When it is, brace for a lot of 'Hopper meets Mando' headlines.
