Creed III star Jonathan Majors landed her next lead role in a film titled Lining.

According The envelope, Majors is set to star in the upcoming project from Westbrook Studios and Amazon Studios. Majors will also serve as producer for the film under his company Tall Street Productions.

In a classic case of life imitating art, Lining will tell the story of a Broadway production stunt double who finds a role he’s willing to kill for.

Spike Lee is in “early talks to direct” the film, which would serve as a reunion between Majors and Lee. The two have previously worked together on Da 5 Bloods.

Tyler Cole wrote the screenplay for Liningwhich is based on its own original story, alongside Mother land writer Tom Hanada and SMILFit’s Zach Strauss.

The majors recently played in the third installment of the Creed franchise as Damian ‘Dame’ Anderson, a childhood friend of Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis Creed who later faces his old friend in the boxing ring.
