Javier Bardem has landed two killer roles…
The 44-year-old Spanish actor will star in J.C. Chandor’s next film, A Most Violent Year, which will shoot in Manhattan this fall.
Unlike his critically acclaimed roles in No Country for Old Men and Skyfall, Bardem will play a good guy in the film.
A Most Violent Year was written by Chandor.
Meanwhile, Bardem has also signed on to go mano a mano with Sean Penn in The Gunman.
The film is being directed by Pierre Morel and financed by Studio Canal.
Bardem excels in these types of films, winning the Oscar for No Country For Old Men, and most recently playing the existentially tortured villain who squared off against James Bond in Skyfall.
He’ll next be seen in the Ridley Scott-directed The Counselor, opposite Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and his wife Penelope Cruz.
