Miles Caton has reportedly been cast alongside Denzel Washington in a new action thriller.
The 21-year-old actor, who rose to prominence as blues guitarist Sammie in 2025's Sinners, is set to join Washington and Teyonah Parris in Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie's as yet untitled movie for Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists.
As reported by Deadline, the movie will follow Washington as a former police detective currently serving a life sentence when he is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
He is granted compassionate release with just six months to live, and looks to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter, played by Parris.
He discovers he has a grandson he never knew existed, which will be Caton's role.
While Washington's character is simply looking to make amends and move on from his dark past, that won't be easy.
The script has been written by Scott Barkan and Gregg Zehenter, and is due to hit the big screen on October 1, 2027.
Caton made his feature film debut in Sinners, and the untitled McQuarrie project marks his first role since earning high acclaim for his performance in Ryan Coogler's movie.
He was nominated for a BAFTA, as well as winning the Best Young Actor/Actress prize at the Critics Choice Awards.
The former H.E.R. backup singer, who started his own solo career with his first single This Ain't It, would love to keep pushing on with both careers.
Earlier this year, he told The Hollywood Reporter: "I hope to see myself thriving, touring, more movies, more music and just having fun.
"I’m definitely a thinker and sometimes can be an overthinker, but I’ve genuinely been trying to just be present and just have fun on the journey that I’m on.
"I’ve been doing this for a long time, but this year, or last year now, was such crazy momentum, just skyrocket to all of this now, and there’s still that grind and that hunger that I have to keep going, but also remembering to be present and stay in the moment and just have fun."
While he wants to keep working and enjoying himself, Caton admitted he does have one role in mind for the future.
He added: "I would love to be in the MCU. That would be crazy. I love Marvel, love Marvel movie [Laughs]. So that’s top for me, for sure."
