Michael Fassbender In Talks For Taika Waititi’s ’Next Goal Wins’

September 13, 2019Skyler Shuler

X-Men star Michael Fassbender is in talks to join director Taika Waititi’s soccer film Next Goal Wins, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

It isn’t currently known who Fassbender will be playing, but our guess is he will play long time Dutch soccer coach Thomas Rongen, who attempts the nearly impossible task of turning the American Samoa soccer team from perennial losers into winners.

Waititi will be adapting the documentary from Fox Searchlight along with Iain Morris while Garrett Basch will produce. Imaginarium Productions’ Andy Serkis and Jonathan Cavendish optioned the rights to the documentary in 2015, allowing Waititi to take on the project.

Production on the film is expected to begin this Fall and will wrap in time for his upcoming Marvel Studios film Thor: Love and Thunder, which is expected to begin production early next year in Australia.

Fox Searchlight is no stranger to working with Waititi, as the studio is set to release Jojo Rabbit which will hit theaters on October 18, in which the director also stars.

In 2013, Skyler Shuler wanted to share his knowledge of Disney films and the magic behind the scenes. So, he created the Instagram account Disney Film Facts and the page quickly garnered a following. Soon after a Twitter was created, and not long after that DisneyFilmFacts.com was born. The page has been lucky enough to garner a wonderful following of such amazing Disney and movie fans, as well as been sourced in some of the biggest entertainment sites in the world. In 2018, the page was rebranded to The DisInsider, and the rest was history!
