Avengers star Don Cheadle, Black Widow's David Harbour and Star Wars' Benicio del Toro have joined the cast of Steven Soderbergh's upcoming heist movie No Sudden Move.

Written by Ed Solomon (Bill & Ted Face the Music), the 1950s-set film coming to HBO Max follows a bunch of Chicago criminals who are hired to steal an important document – or so they think, anyway.

When the job goes horribly wrong, the group set out to track down the person who gave them the mission and, perhaps more importantly, find out why they did.

The aforementioned trio will be joined on screen by Mad Men star Jon Hamm, Uncut Gems' Julia Fox, Succession standout Kieran Culkin, Pet Sematary's Amy Seimetz (The Comey Rule), Brendan Fraser (Doom Patrol), Noah Jupe (Honey Boy), Bill Duke (Black Lightning), Frankie Shaw (SMILF) and Goodfellas' Ray Liotta.

"The last time I shot a movie in Detroit with a great script and a great cast things worked out really well," Soderbergh told Deadline, referencing his 2011 pandemic thriller Contagion. "So I'm very excited behind my mask right now."

"Steven is a prolific, forward-thinking director who has a two-decade history of making movies at Warner Bros. We look forward to continuing his legacy at WarnerMedia with his intense crime thriller," said Toby Emmerich, Chairman of the Warner Bros Pictures Group.

"It's a pleasure to begin production on another project with Steven Soderbergh, Casey Silver and Ed Solomon," added Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer for HBO and HBO Max.

"We have an incredible partner in Warner Bros Pictures and an extraordinarily talented cast – we couldn't be happier to bring No Sudden Move to HBO Max."
