Oscar Isaac is going back in time…

The 38-year-old Guatemalan and Cuban actor, who just starred opposite Christian Bale in The Promise about the Armenian genocide, will take a stab at another historical drama — this one about the hunt for one of the most hated men of World War II.

Isaac is sealing a deal to star in Operation Finale (previously known as Eichmann) for MGM and director Chris Weitz.

The project centers on a group of Israeli spies who work to track down the notorious Nazi general Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in the 1960s so he can stand trial for his war crimes in Israel.

The film is based on a true story; Isaac would star as the determined and wily Peter Malkin, an Israeli Mossad, who holds a deep hatred for the Nazis after they murdered his sister and her children. He has a particular obsession for nailing Eichmann.

The screenplay was written by Matthew Orton.

Operation Finale will shoot this fall in Argentina.

Isaac’s previous credits include Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as well as the film Suburbicon.

He is also tackling Hamlet on stage this summer at New York’s Public Theatre.
