Steven Spielberg Just Cast A The Batman Star As The Director’s Fictionalized Father

While Paul Dano has had the opportunity to work with some fantastic directors in his career, including Paul Thomas Anderson, Steve McQueen, Bong Joon Ho, Jon Favreau, and Rian Johnson, this will be the first time that the actor has had the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg (though they do share a credit as the filmmaker was an executive producer on Cowboys And Aliens). Audiences actually haven’t seen Dano in theaters in a few years, as he’s been working on small screen material – like the miniseries Escape At Dannemora and War & Piece – and making Netflix movies like Okja and the upcoming The Guilty, but that drought will end early next year.
