Leonardo Di Caprio and Sean Penn are in talks to join Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s next film The Revenant.
Di Caprio is set to play 1820s frontiersman Hugh Glass, who on a fur trapping expedition is badly mauled by a bear and is unable to be transported back from the wilderness. He hires two men to stay behind who rob and abandon him instead. When he recovers, he is hell bent on revenge.
Penn is in talks to play one of the two men. He previously worked with Inarritu in 21 Grams.
Inarritu will direct a script by Mark L. Smith. 20th Century Fox will distribute.
