Armie Hammer will join Alicia Vikander in director Ben Wheatley’s “Freakshift,” an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The action thriller is about a band of misfit cops who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters. Hammer will play Vikander’s love interest.
This marks a reunion between Hammer and Wheatley, as Hammer will also star in Wheatley’s “Free Fire” co-starring Brie Larson that will hit theaters on April 24.

Hammer most recently starred in “Nocturnal Animals” alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams, as well as “Mine.” He will next star in “Call Me by Your Name,” “Hotel Mumbai” and “Cars 3,” in which he voices Jackson Storm.
