‘Andor’ creator Tony Gilroy is headed back to the big screen after his recent side trip to ‘Star Wars’ galaxy far, far away.
He’s been busy putting the pieces together for his next movie, ‘Behemoth!’ with the cast already including Pedro Pascal, David Harbour and Eva Victor.

What’s the story of ‘Behemoth!’?
While both Pascal and Gilroy –– thanks to their work on ‘Star Wars’ –– are used to secrecy, this one is wrapped in even further layers of mystery. But a few details have emerged.
Gilroy has said in the past that it’ll focus on a cellist who moves back to Los Angeles and decides to make music for movies. The film explores why he came back and why he went away, delivered in a nonlinear, music-driven structure.
The whole movie is told through music cues, which trigger flashbacks spanning the last 20 years.
Oscar Isaac had been attached to the main role, but his busy schedule meant that he recently had to drop out. Ironically, Pascal, who might be one of the other busiest actors on the planet, apparently has free time, and the cameras are rolling now.
What else is Olivia Wilde working on?
Having added directing to her resume a few years ago, Wilde has most recently shot comedy drama ‘The Invite,’ which she also stars in opposite Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton.
On the purely acting front, Wilde will next show up in Gregg Araki’s comedic drama thriller ‘I Want Your Sex,’ which also features Cooper Hoffman and Chase Sui Wonders.
And beyond ‘Behemoth!’, she’s also attached to new thriller ‘Monkey Hill.’
When will ‘Behemoth!’ be in theaters?
Searchlight hasn’t made an actual announcement about the release date for this one. Given that it has only just started shooting, that’s not surprising. But with that cast and director, we wouldn’t be shocked if this ended up positioned as an awards contender for later in 2026.
