Oscar Isaac is becoming one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and here's a breakdown of all his upcoming movies and TV shows. The Guatemalan-American actor got his first acting role in the late 1990s, but it wasn't until the 2000s that he started to get more notable roles. This included a role in Scott Z. Burns' 2006 film Pu-239 and a significant part the same year as Joseph in The Nativity Story. Oscar Isaac's next few years included supporting roles in Ridley Scott's movie Body of Lies, which then paved the way for him to play Prince John in Scott's Robin Hood.
The next decade of Oscar Isaac's career is where he really started to ascend through Hollywood. He secured supporting roles in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive and appeared in The Bourne Legacy in 2012. Isaac's true breakout role came with a collaboration with the Coen Brothers in 2013, as he led Inside Llewyn Davis and proved to be the movie that quickly increased his demand. He went on to star in A Most Violent Year and Ex Machina the following year, but this was also when he landed his most prominent role as Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He went on to reprise this role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker too. Isaac's move to blockbusters also included playing the main villain in X-Men: Apocalypse and a voice cameo as Spider-Man 2099 at the end of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Oscar Isaac's notoriety may have risen because of those bigger titles, but he's continued to appear in various projects over the years. This includes working with directors like George Clooney and Paul Schrader, as well as re-teaming with Alex Garland and J.C. Chandor. Most recently, Oscar Isaac starred as Duke Leto Atreides in Denis Villeneuve's Dune, worked with Jessica Chastain again on HBO's Scenes from a Marriage, and reprised his voice role as Gomez Addams in The Addams Family 2. He has shown no signs of slowing down either, as he has multiple movies and TV shows in various stages of development. Here are all of Oscar Isaac's upcoming movies and shows after Dune.
Moon Knight
The biggest upcoming Oscar Isaac project is his highly anticipated debut as Marc Spector in Moon Knight. Isaac will play the trained mercenary turned vigilante in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Moon Knight is expected to arrive on Disney+ in 2022 and give Isaac a chance to fully explore Marc Spector's complexities. The character believes he's embued with powers from the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, but there's also a chance his dissociated identity disorder might be behind this belief. Marvel is keeping details on Moon Knight to a minimum, with Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy the only confirmed co-stars for Isaac's MCU series.
Big Gold Brick
Oscar Isaac's next movie role will be in Brian Petsos' Big Gold Brick. The upcoming 2022 dark comedy is Petsos' feature film directorial debut. It follows aspiring writer Samuel Liston, played by Emory Cohen, who is hired to write the biography of Floyd Deveraux, played by Andy Garcia. Oscar Isaac plays the supporting role of Anselm in Big Gold Brick and is part of a talented ensemble around Cohen and Garcia that also includes Megan Fox and Lucy Hale.
Metal Gear Solid
Another future Oscar Isaac project is a live-action Metal Gear Solid movie. He's set to play Solid Snake in the upcoming video game movie after he became a fan-favorite choice to play the character online. Metal Gear Solid is directed by Kong: Skull Island's Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who is a self-proclaimed huge fan of Hideo Kojima's iconic games and imagery. There isn't much else known about Isaac's interpretation of Solid Snake, but he's made his excitement for playing the character well-known. As of now, Metal Gear Solid does not have a release date.
Francis and the Godfather
Oscar Isaac is also attached to star in Francis and the Godfather, a movie about the making of Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 mobster movie The Godfather. Isaac will play director Francis Ford Coppola in the film, which also stars Jake Gyllenhaal as producer Robert Evans, Elisabeth Moss as Coppola's wife Eleanor, and Elle Fanning as Evans' wife, Ali MacGraw. Francis and the Godfather is directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and still waiting to find distribution and a release date.
Megalopolis
Another future Oscar Isaac movie role is in Megalopolis, the high-concept epic film from Francis Ford Copolla. Isaac is one of many actors in talks to be part of Francis Ford Copolla's long-awaited directorial return. Forest Whitaker, Cate Blanchett, Jon Voight, Zendaya, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Lange, and James Caan are also actors who have been linked to the movie. Megalopolis is a blockbuster movie that is described as a Roman epic but with a modern American focus. Copolla hopes to begin production in late 2022, meaning the film could be released sometime in 2023 or 2024 at the earliest.
A Foreigner
Oscar Isaac is also set to star in a new movie from Me and Earl and the Dying Girl director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. Currently known as A Foreigner, the Paramount movie is described as a thriller with a script from Chris Terrio (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker). Isaac originally joined this movie back in 2017, and there hasn't been any news on it since, so it is quite possible A Foreigner won't be made at this point.
The Garbo Network
Another long-gestating future Oscar Isaac project is The Garbo Network. Similar to A Foreigner, Isaac joined this movie idea back in 2017. The Garbo Network is a WWII set thriller that would see him play Juan Pujol Garcia, a double agent for Germany and Britain with no military training. The movie first became known as Storyscape Entertainment began trying to sell William Wheeler's script at the Berlin Film Festival, but there have not been any updates since.
A Most Violent Year Sequel
Oscar Isaac is also eyeing a return to his role as fuel supplier Abel Morales from A Most Violent Year in the future. Although the sequel is far from officially happening, there have been teases about him and Jessica Chastain re-teaming for A Most Violent Year 2. Chastain teased the possibility of her and Isaac revisiting their A Most Violent Year characters at the start of 2020. It is currently unclear if such a project will happen or what form it would take if it does.
Untitled Martin McDonagh Project
Oscar Isaac is also one of the actors attached to star in Martin McDonagh's upcoming feature film. The In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri director has Isaac attached to star alongside Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken in a mysterious new movie. The title was first revealed as McDonagh attempted to sell the production at AFM 2021. If the film moves forward, the future Oscar Isaac movie will be the first collaboration between him and Martin McDonagh.
The Great Machine
After already starring in Alex Garland's Ex Machina in 2014, Oscar Isaac is also attached to star in a movie adaptation of Brian K. Vaughn's comic of the same name. To avoid any confusion, Legendary's movie will be titled The Great Machine. Isaac will play a former superhero known as Mitchell Hundred, who can talk to machinery and became mayor of New York. The Great Machine does not have a director to bring Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel's script to life.
London
Another upcoming Oscar Isaac movie will see him work with Ben Stiller on a new thriller titled London. The high-concept movie is based on a short story from Jo Nesbo and has Eric Roth (Dune) attached to write the screenplay. Isaac will produce and star in the movie, which Ben Stiller will direct. Oscar Isaac was the one who made this future movie happen as he obtained the short story rights and recruited Stiller and Roth to work on London. The film was initially announced in the summer of 2020, but no updates have come since then.
