Now, Variety is reporting that Stevens is in negotiations to star in Gareth Evans’ next film “Apostle.” The film tells the story of a man who travels to a remote island to save his sister from the clutches of a cult. “Apostle” will be written and directed by Evans, who is best known for his amazing “The Raid” films, and their highly stylized action sequences, so it’ll be exciting to see what Evans has coming next.

As previously mentioned, Stevens is a very busy actor. Other than the upcoming blockbuster, “Beauty and the Beast,” he also has “Colossal” which also stars Anne Hathaway coming soon, and much more.

Filming on “Apostle” is set to begin in March 2017, so more casting should be announced soon.
